The most obvious use would be in RWTest printf-like functions. I'm not sure how well variadic function macros mesh with variadic templates but, if they do, I could take advantage of the feature in tuples. In any case, I figured we'll need the config test sooner or later. > > If we do come up with a use for the feature, I'd like to > suggest renaming the config test VARIADIC_MACRO.cpp. Fine by me. :) Brad.
