Hello,

It could be that snprintf() is not properly declared in<stdio.h>.
According to [1], it's not officially part of c++98 (???). Try
gnu++98 instead. As for why it's not in c++0x, there's a problem
with the macros being defined [2] that AFAIK remains unresolved;
again the workaround is gnu++0x.

Oh, i should have found these, at least the first one... For c++0x,
couldn't this be addressed now? As a start, i can (humbly) propose:

--- stdio.h	2012-04-04 14:50:32.000000000 +0159
+++ stdio.h++	2012-04-04 16:38:21.049273700 +0159

+#if !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) || (__STDC_VERSION__>= 199901L) || (__cplusplus>= 201103L)
How is that supposed to work?

   $ gcc -xc++ -std=c++98 -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep cplus
   #define __cplusplus 1

   $ gcc -xc++ -std=c++0x -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep cplus
   #define __cplusplus 1

Actually I'm wondering if that's not a bug in gcc:

   $ gcc -xc -std=c89 -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep STDC
   #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
   #define __STDC__ 1

   $ gcc -xc -std=c99 -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep STDC
   #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
   #define __STDC_VERSION__ 199901L
   #define __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__ 1
   #define __STDC__ 1

   [~]$ gcc -xc++ -std=c++98 -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep STDC
   #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
   #define __STDC__ 1
   [~]$ gcc -xc++ -std=c++0x -dM -E -<  /dev/null | grep STDC
   #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
   #define __STDC__ 1

Shouldn't -std=c++0x include the definitions for -std=c99, namely

#define __STDC_VERSION__ 199901L

???
I figured it was a gcc bug from the start, but I don't know enough about the arcane art of juggling all possible combinations of __STDC__, __ANSI__, etc. and wouldn't know the first thing about a fix. I just live with -std=gnu++$WHATEVER for now.
