How to wrap printf() into a function or macro?

by

There are 2 ways to do this:

  1. Variadric macro

    #define my_printf(...) printf(__VA_ARGS__)

  2. function that forwards va_args

    #include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void my_printf(const char *fmt, ...) {
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, fmt);
    vprintf(fmt, args);
    va_end(args);
}

There are also vsnprintf, vfprintf and whatever you can think of in stdio.
