va_arg... recursion: changing arguments and the using recursion

Show all headers | View raw

Hello...

is there a nice and portable way of changing some variable arguments, and then passing these changed arguments to the same function as recursion??

Here's a non-general example:
                                                                        
#include <stdio.h>


int go(int num, ...)
{
  int *p = &num;
  int *p2 = p;
  int i, n;
  for (i = 1; i <= num; ++i)
    printf("%d ", *(++p2));
  putchar('\n');

  for (p2 = p+num; p2 > p; --p2) {
    n = *(p2);
    if (n > 0) {
      --(*p2);

      //recurr
      p2 = p+1;
      go(num, *p2, *(p2+1), *(p2+2)); // lucky me... 4 total arguments
      break;
    }
  }
}

int main(void)
{
  go(3, 3, 3, 3);
  return 0;
}



As is shown in the comment above, I'm just lucky with invoking 4 arguments in the recursion.
What could I do, if I don't know the number of arguments and want recursion?

Thanks.
