I'm trying to implement a flexible debug macro/function lib and named/optional arguments seem like the best way to implement the functions.
Is there a nicer way to do named arguments in c then the following?
enum named_args {NAME,ADRESS,AGE,NA_SENTINEL};
void named_arg_initializers(struct person p, enum * named_args)
{
enum named_args * current_name;
enum named_args * current_arg;
...
if(named_args==NULL)
return;
current_name = named_args[0];
current_arg = named_args[1];
while(current_name!=NA_SENTINEL)
{
current_name+=2;
current_arg+=2;
if(current_name==NAME)
p.name=current_arg;
else if(...
...
}
...
}
...
}
