That's an issue e.g. with Windows's %I64d versus %lld, and with C99 formats like %a.I'd be very pleased to have a full C99 printf in gnulib, mainly because I'm getting tired of not being able to write %zu to print a size_t.Hi Gary, Paolo, OK Guys, shall we dust this "snprintfv" thing off, polish a bit and hand off to the interested gnulib folks? :) It'd be nice to have it have first class support. Heck, I'd like to see some of the add-on interfaces made more widely available anyway. :)
That sounds like a splendid idea! I'll even have some time to spend
on it starting next month.
Cheers,
Gary
