Bug ID: 105741 Summary: Wrong preprocessor parameter substitution with ##__VA_ARGS__. Product: gcc Version: 12.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: gcc.gnu.org_bugzilla at jfa dot knudsen.ovh Target Milestone: --- This code : #define CALL2(dummy, p1, ...) "dummy"=dummy, "p1"=p1, "va"=__VA_ARGS__ #define CALL(dummy, ...) CALL2(dummy, ##__VA_ARGS__) #define CALL_WITHOPT(dummy, ...) CALL2(dummy __VA_OPT__(,) __VA_ARGS__) #define CALL_ARGS "param1", "param2" CALL("dum", "param1", "param2"); CALL_WITHOPT("dum", CALL_ARGS); CALL("dum", CALL_ARGS); preprocessed gives : "dummy"="dum", "p1"="param1", "va"="param2"; "dummy"="dum", "p1"="param1", "va"="param2"; "dummy"="dum", "p1"="param1", "param2", "va"=; We can see that, at the third line, parameter p1 = "param1", "param2" and __VA_ARGS__ is empty. It seems that CALL_ARGS expands to "param1", "param2" but is still only one parameter in the variable list. Is that the way it is supposed to be ? Any workaround before it's fixed ?
