How to pass variable number of arguments to a function

How to write functions which takes variable number of arguments in our program.

In C++, we can write functions with three dots(…) as parameter. This will make that function to support variable number of arguments. The va_arg, va_end, and va_start macros provide access to function arguments when the number of arguments is variable.

void LogError(TCHAR * format, ...)
{
   va_list args;
   int len;
   TCHAR *buffer;

   va_start(args, format);
   len = _vscprintf(format, args) + 1;
   buffer = (TCHAR *) _alloca( len * sizeof(TCHAR) );
   vsprintf_s( buffer, len, format, args );
   CString strErrMsg = buffer;
}

int Sum(int noOfArgs, ...)
{
    int nSum = 0;
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, noOfArgs);
    nSum = va_arg(args, int);
    for(int i = 2; i <= noOfArgs; i++) 
    {
        nSum += va_arg(args, int);
    }
    va_end(args);
    return nSum;
}

void main()
{
    int nSum = Sum(5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
    LogError(_T("Failed - %s, ErrorCode - %d"), "AccessDenied", 111);
}

These macros are defined in STDARG.H file.
