Precedence of "params" parameters vs normal parameters

[cjard]

Guys

Does anyone have a strategy they employ for providing overloads, one of which is a params, that potentially causes overload confusion?

I want to implement:

protected void A(string a){
  A(a, "");
}

protected void A(string a, string b){
  //do something
}

protected void A(string a, params object[] z){
  A(string.Format(a, z));
}

protected void A(string a, string b, params object[] z){
  A(string.Format(a, z), b);
}

And in calling code, existing we have stuff like:

A("The process failed")
A("The process failed: {0}", ex.Message)


I now want to upgrade:
A("The processed failed", "Errors Group");
A("The processed failed a status {1}: {0}", "Errors Group", ex.Message, obj.Status);


-
but of course, all that code that is:

A("The process failed: {0}", ex.Message)


Might call:
A(string, params object[] z)

And this is a silent problem, right?
