Go4Expert - Using va_arg with pair<> container

Hello,

I have been trying to compile my code but getting compilers error. I am unable to fix the problem and couldn't find any solution further in the net. If anyone knows how to use stl container "pair" as an argument to va_arg( ) macro pl let me know. My code snipet is as follows.....N.B:The compiler is giving error for the line va_arg(pa, pair<string,int>):

Thanks
Robi.

Code:

 

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "stdarg.h"

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <utility>

using namespace std;

 

pair <string,int>FlyStick("FlyStick",7);

pair <string,int>Head("Head",11);

pair <string,int> Belt("Belt",13);

pair <string,int> Glove("Glove",17);



typedef struct buffer

{

string Name;

int ID;

}buffer;

 

void TestVa(pair<string,int>,...);

 

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

 

 TestVa(FlyStick,Head,,Belt, -1);



  return 0;

}

 

void TestVa(pair<string,int> iDevice,...)

{

int i,j;

int NumOfDevices=0;

i=0;

j=0;

 

va_list pa;

va_start(pa,iDevice);

 

ziggs* buffer=new ziggs[4];

buffer[0].ID=iDevice.second;

buffer[0].Name=iDevice.first;

 

cout<<buffer[0].Name<<"  "<<buffer[0].ID<<endl;

 

//while(i!=1)

//{

 

//NumOfDevices++;

 

va_arg (pa,pair<string,int>);     <========error here



...........rest of the code........
