How about execution_monitor? it uses vsnprintf as well? We do want to use snprintf. I do not have access to this compiler. Please provide patch and I can incorporate it. </p> Ticket mloskot <mateusz@…> Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:56:15 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3558 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3558 <ul> <li><strong>attachment</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">como-snprintf-svnprintf-ticket-3558.patch</span> </li> </ul> <p> Patch adding snprintf and vsnprintf workaround based on sprintf/vsprintf for Comeau C++ compiler </p> Ticket mloskot <mateusz@…> Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:02:21 GMT
