On MSVC 14, vasnprintf fails even for simple requests like printf ("%d", 12345). The reason is that the code currently assumes that snprintf and _snprintf operate the same way, and that therefore when HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 = 1, _snprintf has a C99 compliant return value. This is not the case, because the doc [1] says "Beginning with the UCRT in Visual Studio 2015 and Windows 10, snprintf is no longer identical to _snprintf. The snprintf function behavior is now C99 standard compliant."
It would be possible to use _snprintf in older versions of Windows and snprintf in newer ones / with newer versions of MSVC, but I don't much like this, because this may lead to trouble when binaries are built on older Windows version / with older MSVC tools and then run on newer Windows versions. It's simpler to stay with using _snprintf always. 2017-04-21 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> vasnprintf: Fix for MSVC 14. * lib/vasnprintf.c (USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF): New macro. Everywhere, use !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF instead of !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99. diff --git a/lib/vasnprintf.c b/lib/vasnprintf.c index 4962e58..839f790 100644 --- a/lib/vasnprintf.c +++ b/lib/vasnprintf.c @@ -156,6 +156,7 @@ # define SNPRINTF snwprintf # else # define SNPRINTF _snwprintf +# define USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF 1 # endif # else /* Unix. */ @@ -181,7 +182,9 @@ /* Here we need to call the native snprintf, not rpl_snprintf. */ # undef snprintf # else + /* MSVC versions < 14 did not have snprintf, only _snprintf. */ # define SNPRINTF _snprintf +# define USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF 1 # endif # else /* Unix. */ @@ -208,7 +211,7 @@ #undef remainder #define remainder rem -#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99) && !WIDE_CHAR_VERSION +#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF) && !WIDE_CHAR_VERSION # if (HAVE_STRNLEN && !defined _AIX) # define local_strnlen strnlen # else @@ -224,7 +227,7 @@ local_strnlen (const char *string, size_t maxlen) # endif #endif -#if (((!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99) && WIDE_CHAR_VERSION) || ((!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || (NEED_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_LS && !defined IN_LIBINTL)) && !WIDE_CHAR_VERSION && DCHAR_IS_TCHAR)) && HAVE_WCHAR_T +#if (((!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF) && WIDE_CHAR_VERSION) || ((!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF || (NEED_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_LS && !defined IN_LIBINTL)) && !WIDE_CHAR_VERSION && DCHAR_IS_TCHAR)) && HAVE_WCHAR_T # if HAVE_WCSLEN # define local_wcslen wcslen # else @@ -247,7 +250,7 @@ local_wcslen (const wchar_t *s) # endif #endif -#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99) && HAVE_WCHAR_T && WIDE_CHAR_VERSION +#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF) && HAVE_WCHAR_T && WIDE_CHAR_VERSION # if HAVE_WCSNLEN # define local_wcsnlen wcsnlen # else @@ -1517,7 +1520,7 @@ is_borderline (const char *digits, size_t precision) #endif -#if !USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 +#if !USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF /* Use a different function name, to make it possible that the 'wchar_t' parametrization and the 'char' parametrization get compiled in the same @@ -2392,7 +2395,7 @@ VASNPRINTF (DCHAR_T *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp, } } #endif -#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || (NEED_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_LS && !defined IN_LIBINTL)) && HAVE_WCHAR_T +#if (!USE_SNPRINTF || !HAVE_SNPRINTF_RETVAL_C99 || USE_MSVC__SNPRINTF || (NEED_PRINTF_DIRECTIVE_LS && !defined IN_LIBINTL)) && HAVE_WCHAR_T else if (dp->conversion == 's' # if WIDE_CHAR_VERSION && a.arg[dp->arg_index].type != TYPE_WIDE_STRING @@ -4591,10 +4594,10 @@ VASNPRINTF (DCHAR_T *resultbuf, size_t *lengthp, #if !DCHAR_IS_TCHAR || ENABLE_UNISTDIO || NEED_PRINTF_FLAG_LEFTADJUST || NEED_PRINTF_FLAG_ZERO || NEED_PRINTF_UNBOUNDED_PRECISION int has_width;
