+Warns if any arguments to the ``sprintf`` family of functions overlap with the
+first argument.

+.. code-block:: c++

+ char buf[20] = {"hi"};
+ sprintf(buf, "%s%d", buf, 0);

+C99 and POSIX.1-2001 states that if copying were to take place between objects
+that overlap, the result is undefined.

If copying takes place between objects that overlap, the behavior is undefined.
This is stated in the `C23/N3220 standard
<https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3096.pdf>`_
(sections 7.23.6.5 and 7.23.6.6), as well as the `POSIX.1-2024 standard
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/>`_.
```
Maybe this should also say something about what can happen in practice
(unexpected results? segmentation faults?).
