Playing devil's advocate here... given that: libmingwex.a is only linked if someone passes -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1 and that msvcrt doesn't implement asprintf or vasprintf,
could we not just say that anyone who expects ms formatting in this scenario is just mistaken? - and they'd get warnings from the to that effect compiler too. Cheers, Ray.
