Possible to use varags with member-function pointers?

[John Silicon]

Has anyone ever successfully implimented passing member-functions to a
varargs function? I thought it would be fairly straight-forward, but seems
to come up with nice syntax errors. I've checked my code for syntax errors,
so it must be something with my code effecting the code returned by the
va_arg macro.

I'm implimenting a recursive-decent parser, and I need to make a varargs
function that is passed a variable number of productions owned by the same
class, terminated by a NULL.
The function-pointers are of type "CNode* (CParser::*)(CT okenList*)"
Here's my code:
CNode* do_order(CNode* topLevelNode, CTokenList* toklist) {
va_list args;
va_start(toklis t);
while (1) {
production = va_arg(args, CNode* (CParser::*)(CT okenList*));
if (production == NULL) break;
topLevelNode -> pushchild(this->*production(to klist));
}
va_end(args);
return topLevelNode;
}

But, this produces the error:
Parser.cpp(92): syntax error : ')'

Line 92 is the line with va_arg() on it.

Don't you need to have ellipsis here

do_order(blah toklist, ...) {
^^^^

I think this has to be

topLevelNode->pushchild((thi s->*production)(t oklist));

I am not sure how ellipsis and va_*** macros should behave when
used with pointers to members, but suspect that they won't work.
pointers to members are not built-in types.
