@node vsprintf @section @code{vsprintf} @findex vsprintf POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/vsprintf.html} Gnulib module: vsprintf-posix Portability problems fixed by Gnulib: @itemize @item This function does not support size specifiers as in C99 (@code{hh}, @code{ll}, @code{j}, @code{t}, @code{z}) on some platforms: AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9, Cygwin 1.5.24, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item printf of @samp{long double} numbers is unsupported on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item printf @code{"%f"}, @code{"%e"}, @code{"%g"} of Infinity and NaN yields an incorrect result on some platforms: AIX 5.2, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11.4, mingw, MSVC 14. @item This function does not support the @samp{a} and @samp{A} directives on some platforms: glibc-2.3.6, Mac OS X 10.5, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.0, AIX 5.2, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item This function does not support the @samp{F} directive on some platforms: NetBSD 3.0, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11.23, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 9, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item This function does not support the @samp{n} directive on some platforms: MSVC 14. @item This function does not support the @samp{ls} directive on some platforms: OpenBSD 4.0, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 2.6, Cygwin 1.5.x, Haiku. @item This function does not support precisions in the @samp{ls} directive correctly on some platforms: Solaris 11.4. @item This function does not support format directives that access arguments in an arbitrary order, such as @code{"%2$s"}, on some platforms: NetBSD 3.0, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item This function doesn't support the @code{'} flag on some platforms: NetBSD 3.0, Cygwin 1.5.24, mingw, MSVC 14. @item This function does not round the argument of the @samp{a} directive correctly on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.12, FreeBSD 6.1. @item This function behaves incorrectly when a @samp{-} flag and a negative width are specified together, on some platforms: HP-UX 10.20. @item printf @code{"%010f"} of NaN and Infinity yields an incorrect result (padded with zeroes, or wrong capitalization) on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0, AIX 5.2, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14. @item This function does not support precisions larger than 512 or 1024 in integer, floating-point and pointer output on some platforms: AIX 7.1, Solaris 10/x86, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS. @item This function mishandles large floating point precisions (for example, formatting 1.0 with @samp{"%.511f"}) on some platforms: Solaris 10. @item This function can crash in out-of-memory conditions on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 5.0. @end itemize Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: @itemize @item The @code{%m} directive is not portable, use @code{%s} mapped to an argument of @code{strerror(errno)} (or a version of @code{strerror_r}) instead. @item Formatting noncanonical @samp{long double} numbers produces nonmeaningful results on some platforms: glibc and others, on x86, x86_64, IA-64 CPUs. @item When formatting an integer with grouping flag, this function inserts thousands separators even in the "C" locale on some platforms: NetBSD 5.1. @end itemize
