+ *
+ * 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 per ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99");
+ * - written in standard ISO/ANSI C - requires an ANSI C compiler.
+ *
+ * SUPPORTED CONVERSION SPECIFIERS AND DATA TYPES
+ *
+ * This snprintf only supports the following conversion specifiers:
+ * s, c, d, u, o, x, X, p  (and synonyms: i, D, U, O - see below)
+ * with flags: '-', '+', ' ', '0' and '#'.
+ * An asterisk is supported for field width and for the precision.
+ *
+ * Length 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
+ *   length 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 length modifier 'll'.  long long int is a language extension
+ *   which may not be portable.
+ *
+ * Conversion of numeric data (conversion specifiers d, u, o, x, X, p)
+ * with length 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 conversions 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.
+ *
+ * Length modifiers h, l and ll are ignored for c and s conversions (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 length modifiers are ignored
+ *   - U is a synonym for lu, explicit length modifiers are ignored
+ *   - O is a synonym for lo, explicit length modifiers are ignored
+ * The D, O and U conversion characters are nonstandard, they are supported
+ * for backward compatibility only, and should not be used for new code.
+ *
+ * The following is specifically NOT supported:
+ *   - flag ' (thousands' grouping character) is recognized but ignored
+ *   - numeric conversion specifiers: f, e, E, g, G and synonym F,
+ *     as well as the new a and A conversion specifiers
+ *   - length modifier 'L' (long double) and 'q' (quad - use 'll' instead)
+ *   - wide character/string conversions: lc, ls, and nonstandard
+ *     synonyms C and S
+ *   - 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 C99).
+ *
+ * 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, output bytes beyond the (str_m-1) -th character
+ * are discarded. If str_m is greater than zero it is guaranteed
+ * the resulting string will be null-terminated.
+ *
+ * NOTE that this matches the ISO C99, OpenBSD, and GNU C library 2.1,
+ * but is different from some older and vendor implementations,
+ * and is also different from XPG, XSH5, SUSv2 specifications.
+ * For historical discussion on changes in the semantics and standards
+ * of snprintf see printf(3) man page in the Linux programmers manual.
+ *
+ * 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' conversion (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 C99 (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
+ * 2000-10-06	V2.2  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- BUG FIX: the %c conversion used a temporary variable
+ *		  that was no longer in scope when referenced,
+ *		  possibly causing incorrect resulting character;
+ *		- BUG FIX: make precision and minimal field width unsigned
+ *		  to handle huge values (2^31 <= n < 2^32) correctly;
+ *		  also be more careful in the use of signed/unsigned/size_t
+ *		  internal variables - probably more careful than many
+ *		  vendor implementations, but there may still be a case
+ *		  where huge values of str_m, precision or minimal field
+ *		  could cause incorrect behaviour;
+ *		- use separate variables for signed/unsigned arguments,
+ *		  and for short/int, long, and long long argument lengths
+ *		  to avoid possible incompatibilities on certain
+ *		  computer architectures. Also use separate variable
+ *		  arg_sign to hold sign of a numeric argument,
+ *		  to make code more transparent;
+ *		- some fiddling with zero padding and "0x" to make it
+ *		  Linux compatible;
+ *		- systematically use macros fast_memcpy and fast_memset
+ *		  instead of case-by-case hand optimization; determine some
+ *		  breakeven string lengths for different architectures;
+ *		- terminology change: 'format' -> 'conversion specifier',
+ *		  'C9x' -> 'ISO/IEC 9899:1999 ("ISO C99")',
+ *		  'alternative form' -> 'alternate form',
+ *		  'data type modifier' -> 'length modifier';
+ *		- several comments rephrased and new ones added;
+ *		- make compiler not complain about 'credits' defined but
+ *		  not used;
+ * 2001-08-16	V2.3  Mark Martinec <mark.martinec@ijs.si>
+ *		- bump the size of a temporary buffer for simple
+ *		  numeric->string conversion from 32 to 48 characters
+ *		  in anticipation of 128-bit machines;
+ *		- shouldn't happen, but just in case (applies to numeric
+ *		  conversions only): added assertion after a call to
+ *		  system's sprintf to make sure we detect a problem
+ *		  as it happens (of very shortly after a buffer overflow
+ *		  occured for some strange reason in system's sprintf,
+ *		  but still);
+ *		- changed few comments, new references to some other
+ *		  implementations added to the README file;
+ *		- it appears the Artistic License and its variant the Frontier
+ *		  Artistic License are incompatible with GPL and precludes
+ *		  this work to be included with GPL-licensed work. This was
+ *		  not my intention. The fact that this package is dual licensed
+ *		  comes to the rescue. Changed the credits[] string, and
+ *		  TERMS AND CONDITIONS to explicitly say so and stress
+ *		  the fact that this work is dual licensed.

+ * 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 C99, 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) !

+ * - 'x'_BUG_COMPATIBLE refers to (and enables) a behaviour of system's sprintf
