Taglist question

[xeron]

I'm writing some software using GCC 2.95.3. At the moment its all contained in one executable, but later on I'm going to put a lot of the routines in a shared library.

Because of this, a lot of my routines expect taglists. At the moment i'm calling them like this:


struct TagItem mytags[2];

mytags[0].ti_Tag  = TAG_SOMETHING_OR_OTHER;
mytags[0].ti_Data = 1234;
mytags[1].ti_Tag  =TAG_DONE
mytags[1].ti_Data = 0;

myDoSomethingA( mytags )


Which is quite untidy, and annoying. Is it possible to call the function and specify the tags like you do normally? If so, how?

RobinC on IRC gave me the answer! All I needed was:


ULONG myDoSomething( ULONG Tag, ... )
{
  return myDoSomethingA( (struct TagItem *)&Tag );
}

@Dietmar:

Bear in mind that this is only a stub for my personal testing. Once the routines have been externalised into a library, proper headers will be created.
