 *
 * FEATURES
 * - careful adherence to specs regarding flags, field width and precision;
 * - good performance for large string handling (large format, large
 *   argument or large paddings). Performance is similar to system's sprintf
 *   and in several cases significantly better (make sure you compile with
 *   optimizations turned on, tell the compiler the code is strict ANSI
 *   if necessary to give it more freedom for optimizations);
 * - return value semantics as per ISO C9X;
 * - written in standard ISO/ANSI C - requires an ANSI C compiler.
 *
 * SUPPORTED FORMATS AND DATA TYPES
 *
 * This snprintf only supports format specifiers:
 * s, c, d, o, u, x, X, p  (and synonyms: i, D, U, O - see below)
 * with flags: '-', '+', ' ', '0' and '#'.
 * An asterisk is supported for field width as well as precision.
 *
 * Data type modifiers 'h' (short int), 'l' (long int)
 * and 'll' (long long int) are supported.
 * NOTE:
 *   If macro SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT is not defined (default) the
 *   data type modifier 'll' is recognized but treated the same as 'l',
 *   which may cause argument value truncation! Defining
 *   SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT requires that your system's sprintf also
 *   handles data type modifier 'll'. long long int is a language
 *   extension which may not be portable.
 *
 * Conversion of numeric data (formats d, o, u, x, X, p) with data type
 * modifiers (none or h, l, ll) is left to the system routine sprintf,
 * but all handling of flags, field width and precision as well as c and
 * s formats is done very carefully by this portable routine. If a string
 * precision (truncation) is specified (e.g. %.8s) it is guaranteed the
 * string beyond the specified precision will not be referenced.
 *
 * Data type modifiers h, l and ll are ignored for c and s formats (data
 * types wint_t and wchar_t are not supported).
 *
 * The following common synonyms for conversion characters are supported:
 *   - i is a synonym for d
 *   - D is a synonym for ld, explicit data type modifiers are ignored
 *   - U is a synonym for lu, explicit data type modifiers are ignored
 *   - O is a synonym for lo, explicit data type modifiers are ignored
 *
 * The following is specifically not supported:
 *   - flag ' (thousands' grouping character) is recognized but ignored
 *   - numeric formats: f, e, E, g, G and synonym F
 *   - data type modifier 'L' (long double) and 'q' (quad - use 'll' instead)
 *   - wide character/string formats: C, lc, S, ls
 *   - writeback of converted string length: conversion character n
 *   - the n$ specification for direct reference to n-th argument
 *   - locales
 *
 * It is permitted for str_m to be zero, and it is permitted to specify NULL
 * pointer for resulting string argument if str_m is zero (as per ISO C9X).
 *
 * The return value is the number of characters which would be generated
 * for the given input, excluding the trailing null. If this value
 * is greater or equal to str_m, not all characters from the result
 * have been stored in str. If str_m is greater than zero it is
 * guaranteed the resulting string will be null-terminated.
 *
 * NOTE that this matches the ISO C9X and GNU C library 2.1,
 * but is different from some older implementations!
 *
 * Routines asprintf and vasprintf return a pointer (in the ptr argument)
 * to a buffer sufficiently large to hold the resulting string. This pointer
 * should be passed to free(3) to release the allocated storage when it is
 * no longer needed. If sufficient space cannot be allocated, these functions
 * will return -1 and set ptr to be a NULL pointer. These two routines are a
 * GNU C library extensions (glibc).
 *
 * Routines asnprintf and vasnprintf are similar to asprintf and vasprintf,
 * yet, like snprintf and vsnprintf counterparts, will write at most str_m-1
 * characters into the allocated output string, the last character in the
 * allocated buffer then gets the terminating null. If the formatted string
 * length (the return value) is greater than or equal to the str_m argument,
 * the resulting string was truncated and some of the formatted characters
 * were discarded. These routines present a handy way to limit the amount
 * of allocated memory to some sane value.

 *
 * REVISION HISTORY
 * 1999-04	V0.9  Mark Martinec
 *		- initial version, some modifications after comparing printf
 *		  man pages for Digital Unix 4.0, Solaris 2.6 and HPUX 10,
 *		  and checking how Perl handles sprintf (differently!);
 * 1999-04-09	V1.0  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- added main test program, fixed remaining inconsistencies,
 *		  added optional (long long int) support;
 * 1999-04-12	V1.1  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- support the 'p' format (pointer to void);
 *		- if a string precision is specified
 *		  make sure the string beyond the specified precision
 *		  will not be referenced (e.g. by strlen);
 * 1999-04-13	V1.2  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- support synonyms %D=%ld, %U=%lu, %O=%lo;
 *		- speed up the case of long format string with few conversions;
 * 1999-06-30	V1.3  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- fixed runaway loop (eventually crashing when str_l wraps
 *		  beyond 2*31) while copying format string without
 *		  conversion specifiers to a buffer that is too short
 *		  (thanks to Edwin Young <edwiny@autonomy.com> for
 *		  spotting the problem);
 *		- added macros PORTABLE_SNPRINTF_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR)
 *		  to snprintf.h
 * 2000-02-14	V2.0 (never released) Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- relaxed license terms: The Artistic License now applies.
 *		  You may still apply the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
 *		  as was distributed with previous versions, if you prefer;
 *		- changed REVISION HISTORY dates to use ISO 8601 date format;
 *		- added vsnprintf (patch also independently proposed by
 *		  Caolan McNamara 2000-05-04, and Keith M Willenson 2000-06-01)
 * 2000-06-27	V2.1  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
 *		- removed POSIX check for str_m<1; value 0 for str_m is
 *		  allowed by ISO C9X (and GNU C library 2.1) - (pointed out
 *		  on 2000-05-04 by Caolan McNamara, caolan@ csn dot ul dot ie).
 *		  Besides relaxed license this change in standards adherence
 *		  is the main reason to bump up the major version number;
 *		- added nonstandard routines asnprintf, vasnprintf, asprintf,
 *		  vasprintf that dynamically allocate storage for the
 *		  resulting string; these routines are not compiled by default,
 *		  see comments where NEED_V?ASN?PRINTF macros are defined;
 *		- autoconf contributed by Caolan McNamara

/* Define HAVE_SNPRINTF if your system already has snprintf and vsnprintf.
 *
 * If HAVE_SNPRINTF is defined this module will not produce code for
 * snprintf and vsnprintf, unless PREFER_PORTABLE_SNPRINTF is defined as well,
 * causing this portable version of snprintf to be called portable_snprintf
 * (and portable_vsnprintf).
 */
/* #define HAVE_SNPRINTF */

/* Define PREFER_PORTABLE_SNPRINTF if your system does have snprintf and
 * vsnprintf but you would prefer to use the portable routine(s) instead.
 * In this case the portable routine is declared as portable_snprintf
 * (and portable_vsnprintf) and a macro 'snprintf' (and 'vsnprintf')
 * is defined to expand to 'portable_v?snprintf' - see file snprintf.h .
 * Defining this macro is only useful if HAVE_SNPRINTF is also defined,
 * but does does no harm if defined nevertheless.
 */
/* #define PREFER_PORTABLE_SNPRINTF */

/* Define SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT if you want to support
 * data type (long long int) and data type modifier 'll' (e.g. %lld).
 * If undefined, 'll' is recognized but treated as a single 'l'.
 *
 * If the system's sprintf does not handle 'll'
 * the SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT must not be defined!
 *
 * This is off by default since (long long int) is a language extension.
 */
/* #define SNPRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT */

/* Define NEED_SNPRINTF_ONLY if you only need snprintf, and not vsnprintf.
 * If NEED_SNPRINTF_ONLY is defined, the snprintf will be defined directly,
 * otherwise both snprintf and vsnprintf routines will be defined
 * and snprintf will be a simple wrapper around vsnprintf, at the expense
 * of an extra procedure call.
 */
/* #define NEED_SNPRINTF_ONLY */

/* Define NEED_V?ASN?PRINTF macros if you need library extension
 * routines asprintf, vasprintf, asnprintf, vasnprintf respectively,
 * and your system library does not provide them. They are all small
 * wrapper routines around portable_vsnprintf. Defining any of the four
 * NEED_V?ASN?PRINTF macros automatically turns off NEED_SNPRINTF_ONLY
 * and turns on PREFER_PORTABLE_SNPRINTF.
 *
 * Watch for name conflicts with the system library if these routines
 * are already present there.
 *
 * NOTE: vasprintf and vasnprintf routines need va_copy() from stdarg.h, as
 * specified by C9X, to be able to traverse the same list of arguments twice.
 * I don't know of any other standard and portable way of achieving the same.
 * With some versions of gcc you may use __va_copy(). You might even get away
 * with "ap2 = ap", in this case you must not call va_end(ap2) !
 */
/* #define NEED_ASPRINTF   */
/* #define NEED_ASNPRINTF  */
/* #define NEED_VASPRINTF  */
/* #define NEED_VASNPRINTF */


/* Define the following macros if desired:
 *   SOLARIS_COMPATIBLE, SOLARIS_BUG_COMPATIBLE,
 *   HPUX_COMPATIBLE, HPUX_BUG_COMPATIBLE,
 *   DIGITAL_UNIX_COMPATIBLE, DIGITAL_UNIX_BUG_COMPATIBLE,
 *   PERL_COMPATIBLE, PERL_BUG_COMPATIBLE,
 *
 * - For portable applications it is best not to rely on peculiarities
 *   of a given implementation so it may be best not to define any
 *   of the macros that select compatibility and to avoid features
 *   that vary among the systems.
 *
 * - Selecting compatibility with more than one operating system
 *   is not strictly forbidden but is not recommended.
 *
 * - 'x'_BUG_COMPATIBLE implies 'x'_COMPATIBLE .
 *
 * - 'x'_COMPATIBLE refers to (and enables) a behaviour that is
 *   documented in a sprintf man page on a given operating system
 *   and actually adhered to by the system's sprintf (but not on
 *   most other operating systems). It may also refer to and enable
 *   a behaviour that is declared 'undefined' or 'implementation specific'
 *   in the man page but a given implementation behaves predictably
 *   in a certain way.
 *
 * - 'x'_BUG_COMPATIBLE refers to (and enables) a behaviour of system's sprintf
 *   that contradicts the sprintf man page on the same operating system.
 *
 * - I do not claim that the 'x'_COMPATIBLE and 'x'_BUG_COMPATIBLE
 *   conditionals take into account all idiosyncrasies of a particular
 *   implementation, there may be other incompatibilities.
