Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.00, IRIX 6.5.
@item
This function exists, but does not support wide arguments on some
platforms: Cygwin 1.5.x.
@item
On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, @code{wchar_t} is a 16-bit type and therefore cannot
accommodate all Unicode characters.
@item
This function does not support size specifiers as in C23 (@code{w8},
@code{w16}, @code{w32}, @code{w64}, @code{wf8}, @code{wf16}, @code{wf32},
@code{wf64}) on some platforms:
glibc, musl libc, macOS 12.5, FreeBSD 13.1, NetBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 7.2,
AIX 7.2, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 2.9.0, mingw, MSVC 14.
@item
This function does not support the @samp{b} directive, required by ISO C23,
on some platforms:
glibc 2.34, musl libc, macOS 12.5, FreeBSD 13.1, NetBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 7.2,
AIX 7.2, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 2.9.0, mingw, MSVC 14.
@item
The @code{%m} directive is not portable, use @code{%s} mapped to an
argument of @code{strerror(errno)} (or a version of @code{strerror_r})
instead.
@item
When formatting an integer with grouping flag, this function inserts thousands
separators even in the "C" locale on some platforms:
NetBSD 5.1.
@item
On some platforms, this function does not set @code{errno} or the
stream error indicator on attempts to write to a read-only stream:
Cygwin 1.7.9.
