Dynamically creating a C ++ function argument list at runtime

I am trying to create an argument list for calling a function at runtime, but I cannot figure out how to do this in C ++.

This is for the helper library I'm writing. I take input from the client over the network and use this data to call the function pointer that the user set earlier. The function accepts a string (tokens similar to printf) and a different number of arguments. What I need is a way to add additional arguments depending on what data was received from the client.

I store functions in a map of function pointers

typedef void (*varying_args_fp)(string,...);
map<string,varying_args_fp> func_map;

Usage example will be

void printall(string tokens, ...)
{
    va_list a_list;
    va_start(a_list, tokens);

    for each(auto x in tokens)
    {
        if (x == 'i')
        {
            cout << "Int: " << va_arg(a_list, int) << ' ';
        }
        else if(x == 'c')
        {
            cout << "Char: " << va_arg(a_list, char) << ' ';
        }
    }

    va_end(a_list);
}

func_map["printall"] = printall;
func_map["printall"]("iic",5,10,'x');
// prints "Int: 5 Int: 10 Char: x"

, "CreateX 10 20", . ,

// func_name = "CreateX", tokens = 'ii', first_arg = 10, second_arg = 20
func_map[func_name](tokens,first_arg,second_arg);
