I feel a little confused with your description you want a macro to be like:
void allocate (yourtype dim1, ...)
{
va_list args;
va_start (args, dim1)
...
}
extern void allocate (yourtype, ...);
#define my_macro(...) \
allocate (__VA_ARGS__)
do_calls (__VA_ARGS__)
my_macro (myarrary,myshape,....)
This is where i get confused you want your argument to be a call but
then get the identifier of the call? I dont really understand.
I think thats a big enough hint for you to get started though.
