Heyho, I would really love to see variadic functions for Lite-C/A8.
Those are pretty useful when trying to do something like the sprintf function, or just to provide a cleaner API for the user. It's really annoying to cover all functions that use variadic functions inside dlls.

Please, add this feature to Lite-C.
Oh and by the way, could you please also add the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros? They can be really handy if you need to debug something.

best regards,

Yes, this makes sense and you can see that it's on the forecast already a long time. But it requires a major compiler modification on the machine language level, so it has to wait until the next major compiler overhaul.

Yes, it's in the forecast since I bought A7 in summer 2007 (together with enums and unions). I guess a major compiler update will take at least another three years?

I can understand that you don't want to touch the compilers code because it's a really critical part and adding things in one place can destroy completely other places.
But couldn't you create a fork of the current compiler and create an experimental branch to test things? Users could then decide which compiler they want to use to test if the experimental compiler breaks the compatibility with the existing one. Looks like a win-win situation for me, you don't lose compatibility and new compiler features could be deployed faster.

Oh and about the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros, do they also need a major compiler update? Because imo it's just a search and replace operation and could be done in the compiler frontend

Don't worry, the next compiler revision will certainly come earlier than in 3 years. Compiler modifications are not really critical, they are just time consuming work.
