这个可变参数宏中的“va_num”是什么意思？

Question

似乎不同的编译器处理带有可变参数的宏略有不同。

对于 C99 兼容的编译器，使用特殊标识符 __VA_ARGS__ 来表示可变参数列表：

#define MACRO_1(param1, ...) func(param1, __VA_ARGS__)

对于 GNU C 编译器，可以为可变参数列表命名：

#define MACRO_2(param1, args...) func(param1, args) // "args..." is the name

但我在 ACPICA 代码中看到以下定义：

#define uefi_call_wrapper(func, va_num, ...) func(__VA_ARGS__)

对这样的宏的调用是这样的：

uefi_call_wrapper(BS->SetWatchdogTimer, 4, 0, 0x0, 0, NULL);

这似乎是 C99 方法，但 va_num 似乎没用。为什么要定义？

Answer 1

va_num 只是传递给函数的普通参数，宏会忽略它。

用法一：

当宏在不同的编译器设置中使用时，这种用法很常见，以便在所有这些设置中调用相同的函数，但映射到不同的func，它可能（或可能不）支持va_num 参数。在这种特殊情况下，func 可能不支持va_num 参数，因此宏会忽略它。

用法2：

也可用于处理旧代码，使其易于移植到新版本的宏中。

回答您的问题，va_num 参数不是特殊参数。它与任何其他参数一样使用，与__VA_ARGS__ 或类似参数无关。宏的作者决定给那个参数起这个名字，只是为了说明它应该包含传递的参数的数量，但没有什么比这更花哨，也没有编译器评价。
