new module 'printf-posix'

2007-03-09 Thread Bruno Haible
This module adds a POSIX compliant printf() function. This is the last module in this series. Redefining 'printf' is less easy than redefining 'vprintf' etc., because gcc allows to use the symbol 'printf' in __attribute__s of function declarations. Working around this requires some tricks. You can

Is this patch acceptable? Most platforms already use 1 for EXIT_FAILURE. It fixes what are otherwise false negatives in the M4 testsuite. It also makes it easier to use GNU applications with xargs (since POSIX requires xargs to behave differently when apps exit with 255 as compared with any o
