Re: Opinion on coding style.

That should be as simple as including a #pragma warning(disable:n)
in the appropriate header file. Don't want the warning disabled -
then don't use the problematic class (CString). That can be easily
controlled with a macro.

Interesting. I was thinking about the possibility of proposing an
operator(...) language extension
so you could define what your class should return when used in a variable
argument list.

That might be workable; if you're really interested, see what the people
in
comp.lang.c++.moderated have to say.

Thanks, I might do that and see what they think.



You can write your own functions whose last parameter is the ellipsis,
but
enabling the passing of non-POD types would indeed require extending the
language. I'd be happy if the compiler would just emit a warning based on
the language as it currently exists. Heck, I wasn't even asking for it to
validate printf format specifiers; the test is much simpler than that,
and
it applies to all ellipsis usage.

Wow, I agree. I mean, if it really isn't valid to pass non-POD types over
a var_arg (they just get treated as PVOIDs), then a warning seems
perfectly reasonable. MS is probably not in a hurry to do that because of
the work they go through to guarantee that CString will work in that
scenario.
