Re: [Dev-C++] #define a "function" with variable number of parameters

What compiler are you using that doesn't allow syntax like:

#define error(s,...) { fprintf(stderr,"ERROR %s:%d -
"s"\n",__FILE__,__LINE__, ##__VA_ARGS__); fflush(stderr); }
#define debug(s,...) { fprintf(stdout,s"\n",##__VA_ARGS__); }
