Dear List,

How does one create methods in Objective-C that use a variable number of arguments. I am familiar with the normal C mechanism, but does this work in Objective-C considering the hidden arguments to methods (i.e. _self and _cmd) ? So can I use the normal C mechanism and if not how is it done ? Some sample code would be appreciated.

As far as I know, the objective C syntax don't allow variadic methods. However,
by giving the source files the suffix .mm, you can use C++ as well to a certain extent, although it is tricky, and according to the documentation not possible to embed c++ objects with virtual methods directly in Objective C classes. You can hovever use pointers to refer to objective c classes from c++ code and vice versa.
Also, it IS possible to embed most C++ classes in Objective C, althought it can be tricky because there is no built in language support for this.
Hope this helps.
