// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// WX_DEFINE_VARARG_FUNC* macros
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// This macro is used to implement type-safe wrappers for variadic functions
// that accept strings as arguments. This makes it possible to pass char*,
// wchar_t* or even wxString (as opposed to having to use wxString::c_str())
// to e.g. wxPrintf().
//
// This is done by defining a set of N template function taking 1..N arguments
// (currently, N is set to 30 in this header). These functions are just thin
// wrappers around another variadic function ('impl' or 'implUtf8' arguments,
// see below) and the only thing the wrapper does is that it normalizes the
// arguments passed in so that they are of the type expected by variadic
// functions taking string arguments, i.e., char* or wchar_t*, depending on the
// build:
//   * char* in the current locale's charset in ANSI build
//   * char* with UTF-8 encoding if wxUSE_UNICODE_UTF8 and the app is running
//     under an UTF-8 locale
//   * wchar_t* if wxUSE_UNICODE_WCHAR or if wxUSE_UNICODE_UTF8 and the current
//     locale is not UTF-8
//
// Note that wxFormatString *must* be used for the format parameter of these
// functions, otherwise the implementation won't work correctly. Furthermore,
// it must be passed by value, not reference, because it's modified by the
// vararg templates internally.
//
// Parameters:
// [ there are examples in square brackets showing values of the parameters
//   for the wxFprintf() wrapper for fprintf() function with the following
//   prototype:
//   int wxFprintf(FILE *stream, const wxString& format, ...); ]
//
//        rettype   Functions' return type  [int]
//        name      Name of the function  [fprintf]
//        numfixed  The number of leading "fixed" (i.e., not variadic)
//                  arguments of the function (e.g. "stream" and "format"
//                  arguments of fprintf()); their type is _not_ converted
//                  using wxArgNormalizer<T>, unlike the rest of
//                  the function's arguments  [2]
//        fixed     List of types of the leading "fixed" arguments, in
//                  parenthesis  [(FILE*,const wxString&)]
//        impl      Name of the variadic function that implements 'name' for
//                  the native strings representation (wchar_t* if
//                  wxUSE_UNICODE_WCHAR or wxUSE_UNICODE_UTF8 when running under
//                  non-UTF8 locale, char* in ANSI build)  [wxCrt_Fprintf]
//        implUtf8  Like 'impl', but for the UTF-8 char* version to be used
//                  if wxUSE_UNICODE_UTF8 and running under UTF-8 locale
//                  (ignored otherwise)  [fprintf]
