How to achieve function overloading in C?

Question

Is there any way to achieve function overloading in C? I am looking at simple functions to be overloaded like

foo (int a)  
foo (char b)  
foo (float c , i         


        

Answer 1

In the sense you mean — no, you cannot.

You can declare a va_arg function like

void my_func(char* format, ...);

, but you'll need to pass some kind of information about number of variables and their types in the first argument — like printf() does.
