IIRC, asprintf is widely available. At least it's present on *BSD. > I doubt it would be good to use many `#ifdef _GNU_SOURCE' in the code. _GNU_SOURCE is used to tell Glibc to enable GNU extensions. When you want to check from Glibc whether you're on Glibc, __GLIBC__ indicates that. But using autoconf checks is better anyway. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
