### Function Macro

# GLibGNUC_SCANF

#### Declaration [src]

    #define G_GNUC_SCANF (
      format_idx,
      arg_idx
    )

#### Description [src]

Expands to the GNU C `format` function attribute if the compiler is gcc. This is used for declaring functions which take a variable number of arguments, with the same syntax as `scanf()`. It allows the compiler to type-check the arguments passed to the function.

    int my_scanf (MyStream *stream,
                  const char *format,
                  ...) G_GNUC_SCANF (2, 3);
    int my_vscanf (MyStream *stream,
                   const char *format,
                   va_list ap) G_GNUC_SCANF (2, 0);

See the GNU C documentation for details.

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

`format_idx`

  Type: `-`

  The index of the argument corresponding to the format string (the arguments are numbered from 1).

`arg_idx`

  Type: `-`

  The index of the first of the format arguments, or 0 if there are no format arguments.
