SDL_SCANF_VARARG_FUNCV - Man Page

Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc.h

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

#define SDL_SCANF_VARARG_FUNCV( fmtargnumber ) __attribute__(( format( __scanf__, fmtargnumber, 0 )))

If we were to annotate vfscanf :

int vfscanf(FILE *f, const char *fmt, va_list ap) SDL_PRINTF_VARARG_FUNCV(2);

This notes that the second parameter should be a scanf-style format string, followed by a va_list. The compiler or other analysis tools can warn when this doesn't appear to be the case.

On compilers without this annotation mechanism, this is defined to nothing.

This can (and should) be used with

SDL_SCANF_FORMAT_STRING
as well, which between them will cover at least Visual Studio, GCC, and Clang.

This macro is available since SDL 3.2.0.
