Whatever else you're trying to do, you cannot write a loop like that.
va_arg() will NOT return nil/NULL/0 when it reaches the end. In fact,
va_arg() has no possible way of knowing when it has reached the end. That's
why you pass in theName; it's 100% up to you to parse theName and figure
out how many arguments were passed in and call va_arg() properly.
Or, alternately, force all of your arguments to be of a common base type
(say, "id") and nil terminate the list. A la +[NSArray arrayWithObjects:],
etc.
But you can't have it both ways.
Once you have that your while() loop is easy:
while (more_arguments) {
argument_type = get_next_arg_type();
if (argument_type == myNSStringType) {
objVal = va_arg(myArgList,NSString*);
} else if (argument_type == myNSIntegerType) {
intVal = va_arg(myArgList,NSInteger);
} ... etc ..
more_arguments = has_more_arguments();
}
