Could be done neatly with gcc macro varargs.
Could a combination of both like this work? #include <stdio.h> #include <stdarg.h> #define __VA_NARG__(...) \ (__VA_NARG_(_0, ## __VA_ARGS__, __RSEQ_N()) - 1) #define __VA_NARG_(...) \ __VA_ARG_N(__VA_ARGS__) #define __VA_ARG_N( \ _1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8, _9,_10, \ _11,_12,_13,_14,_15,_16,_17,_18,_19,_20, \ _21,_22,_23,_24,_25,_26,_27,_28,_29,_30, \ _31,_32,_33,_34,_35,_36,_37,_38,_39,_40, \ _41,_42,_43,_44,_45,_46,_47,_48,_49,_50, \ _51,_52,_53,_54,_55,_56,_57,_58,_59,_60, \ _61,_62,_63,N,...)
