Im trying to write a program using ncurses. the function mvprintw takes (int, int, <printf arguments>);

I am trying to make a function that can render characters or strings to the screen. with the code i have provided, im missing something in my display message function. can anybody help me out or provide some insight?

​

#include <ncurses.h>
#include "render.h"

int main() {

    //initialize the screen
    initscr();
    cbreak();
    noecho();
    nonl();
    intrflush(stdscr, FALSE);
    keypad(stdscr, TRUE);

    //write on the screen
    int x = 99;
    displayMessage("hello world %d", x);
    mvprintw(11,10, "hello world %d", x);
    refresh();

    //wait for user input
    getchar();

    //close the ncurses window
    endwin();


    return 0;
}


------------------render.cpp------------------
#include <ncurses.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>


int displayMessage(const char *fmt, ...) {  
    int rv;
    va_list argp;
    va_start(argp, fmt);
    rv = mvprintw(10,10, fmt,  argp);
    return rv;
}

and here is the output, the first number is different every time i run it.

          hello world 1027281632
          hello world 99

SOLVED: the problem was the mvprintw() function does not take the printf arguments, however, the va_printf() ncurses function does. so swapping out the display function worked fine.
