Then here's the revised list of functions I still think are worth exporting: _Exit asnprintf dprintf vasnprintf vdprintf And seeing as how Linux does not yet provide [v]asnprintf, here are my arguments for exporting it: http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2007/msg00403.html In other words, there are several existing programs ported to cygwin that would benefit from smaller size and slightly faster execution if asnprintf were exposed as part of cygwin1.dll, and the size impact to cygwin1.dll to provide this nice hook is much smaller than the impact of implementing asnprintf in program space as a less efficient wrapper around snprintf. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
