That's what I ended up doing. I just found it too weird to use va_start() with a parameter that wasn't related to the printf-style expansion (e.g. va_start(ap, title) where title is not the format string. There are probably valid cases for this, but I'd rather just reorder the arguments when it's possible to do so. I did learn something else though from examining the FLTK source for fl_choice, and that is that "__attribute__((format(printf, m, n)))" is great! It's too bad that compiler couldn't figure this out itself though. The warnings that GCC produces[1] for miss-used functions with this attribute tagging gives are wonderful.
