But now we have a problem - if gnulib did _not_ replace snprintf because it probed the mingw version and found that the return value was correct, then the libintl override violates gnulib's assumptions. If gnulib _does_ replace snprintf, but does not support %1$d, then gnulib violates libintl's assumptions.
One bit of good news - I confirmed (by modifying test-vsnprintf, then testing on mingw64, where the gnulib replacement _does_ kick in) that gnulib's vsnprintf replacement supports %1$d out of the box without any further m4 tests, and without having to drag in the vsnprintf-posix module. So at this point, the patch for mingw is as simple as ensuring that the gnulib snprintf replacement always kicks in. Proposed patch coming up soon. -- Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
