Print variables values

New comment
 

I hope to write a function PrintVars that is able to print the print variables with their names. e.g.,

int var1=1;
bool var2=true;
int var3=2;

PrintVars(var1,var2,var3);

The output to the console is:

var1=1
var2=true
var3=2

The difficulty here is to

  1. Get the variable name;
  2. passing parameters of various types to the function.

Is there a way to achieve 1 and 2?

 
  1. Hope all you want, can't be done. You can't get variable names. Once you pass it, the function has a value not a name.
  2. int var1=1;
bool var2=true;
int var3=2;

PrintFormat("var1=%i, var2=%s, var3=%i", 
            var1, 
            var2 ? "True" : "False", 
            var3);
// var1=1, var2=True, var3=2

#define PRINTVAR(v)     printf("%s = %s",#v,(string)v)


int var1=1;
bool var2=true;
int var3=2;

//PrintVars(var1,var2,var3);
PRINTVAR(var1);
PRINTVAR(var2);
PRINTVAR(var3);

I never think about the stringizing operator since it isn't in the documentation.
