ok, I was C++-ifying the CircleMUD base (my hacked up version of it that
is, not stock)
and i was wondering something about Macros that I never thought
i'd be asking.
ok, if you don't know what i mean when i say
send_to_charf(ch, "string", fmt, etc, etc);
then ignore this post. I don't need confusion, just answers.
ok, in my process of moving to C++,
i created a printf() member function in class/struct char_data
char_data::printf()
which is just like printf.
so I can do
ch->printf("string %s %d", anotherstring, aninteger);
well, what i've done
with the
ch->print() was use
send_to_char() as a macro like so
#define send_to_char(messg, ch) (ch)->print(messg)
I was wondering if it was possible to do that with send_to_charf
ie
#define send_to_charf(ch, messg) (ch)->printf(messg)
and possibly it would accept messg as all the excess pointers and stuff
send_to_charf(ch, "messg %s %d %d", string, number, number);
would be changed in the preprocessor to
ch->printf("messg %s %d %d", string, number, number);
is this possible? this is just to save
my future coders trouble in trying to understand what i've
done to CircleMUD.
Thanks for any help.
