Re:MS doesn't implement snprintf()

On: MS Exec: 'Our products just aren't engineered for security'

I just ported a large amount of code to windows, and I was very surprised to notice that snprintf() is _snprintf() on windows.

Calling their function 'snprintf' before snprintf was adopted into the C standard would have been a mistake. What if the Standard specified it differently?

And I doubt they use "%13s" or directives like this in sprintf()

You mean "%.13s".

, or if their version even supports these constructs.

But you obviously didn't bother to check. Never mind - if your port is crap, you can just blame it on Windows.

I also appreciate Slackware's approach, but quite frankly you will pollute your system quite badly over the years as you install all sorts of new stuff by hand

You're supposed to use makepkg.
