<cstdarg> 
 void va_copy( std::va_list dest, std::va_list src );
 
 (since C++11) 
The va_copy macro copies src to dest.
va_end should be called on dest before the function returns or any subsequent re-initialization of dest (via calls to va_start or va_copy).
Contents
[edit] Parameters
 dest
 -
 an instance of the va_list  type to initialize
 src
 -
 the source va_list  that will be used to initialize dest
[edit] Expanded value
(none)
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <cmath> #include <cstdarg> #include <iostream> double sample_stddev(int count, ...) { double sum = 0; std::va_list args1; va_start (args1, count); std::va_list args2; va_copy(args2, args1); for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { double num = va_arg (args1, double); sum += num; } va_end (args1); double mean = sum / count; double sum_sq_diff = 0; for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { double num = va_arg (args2, double); sum_sq_diff += (num - mean) * (num - mean); } va_end (args2); return std::sqrt (sum_sq_diff / count); } int main() { std::cout << sample_stddev(4, 25.0, 27.3, 26.9, 25.7) << '\n'; }
Output:
0.920258
