问题
I am trying to do object-orientation in C and want to have a syntactic sugar macro for the notation
object->vtable->method(object, arg1, arg2)
into
send(object, method, arg1, arg2)
Unfortunately when a method takes no argument, the trailing comma problem arises
send(object, method)
gives
object->vtable->method(object, )
Is there any portable (no ##__VA_ARGS__
or Visual Studio) way of doing this?
I figured out one but I need to swap the object and the method
#define FIRST_ARG_(N, ...) N
#define FIRST_ARG(args) FIRST_ARG_(args)
#define send(msg, ...) \
FIRST_ARG(__VA_ARGS__)->vtable->msg(__VA_ARGS__)
permits
send(method, object)
send(method, object, arg1, arg2)
Edit
With the help of two good answers from below I will do it with these macros. It works up to 16 arguments but can easily be extended
#define SEND_NO_ARG(obj, msg) obj->vtable->msg(obj)
#define SEND_ARG(obj, msg, ...) obj->vtable->msg(obj, __VA_ARGS__)
#define GET_18TH_ARG(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, \
arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10, arg11, arg12, arg13, arg14, arg15, \
arg16, arg17, arg18, ...) arg18
#define SEND_MACRO_CHOOSER(...) \
GET_18TH_ARG(__VA_ARGS__, \
SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, \
SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, \
SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, SEND_ARG, \
SEND_NO_ARG, )
#define SEND(...) SEND_MACRO_CHOOSER(__VA_ARGS__)(__VA_ARGS__)
回答1:
In this answer there is technique explained which should allow you to count the number of parameters and use object
and method
as the first two arguments.

Short answer, yes, it is possible in a portable way.
Long answer: it's complicated, and you probably don't want to implement this yourself. There are ways to count the arguments that a macro receives and then take action according to that number. P99 implements a series of macros that can help you to achieve this. If you'd implement two base macros send_2
and send_more
for the two cases you could then implement send
as
#define send(...) \
P99_IF_LT(P99_NARG(__VA_ARGS__), 3) \
(send_2(__VA_ARGS__)) \
(send_more(__VA_ARGS__))
Technically these constructs in P99 have a restriction that they can't handle more than 150 (or so) arguments to send
.
BTW, you know that probably, calling a macro send
is not really a good idea. Usually people prefer that macros are in all-caps. Also most of the time it is a good idea to have a name prefix that is unique to your library/package, such as AC245_SEND
.
