Clang doesn't support __builtin_sprintf, so use std::sprintf instead.
libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:
PR libstdc++/96083
* include/ext/throw_allocator.h: Use __has_builtin to check for
__builtin_sprintf support, and use std::sprtinf if necessary.
Tested powerpc64le-linux. Committed to trunk.
I expected to see the test itself guarded by #ifdef __has_builtin
like in <utility>. Or is this code only [meant to be] used with
compilers that understand __has_builtin? (I'm mostly just curious
here about support for other compilers like ICC, not necessarily
pointing out a problem with the patch.)
All recent versions of Intel and Clang support __has_builtin.
(For Intel __has_builtin(__builtin_sprintf) is true, for Clang it's
false. But they both support checking it.)
I recently discussed this subject with Judy Ward at Intel, and their
preference is for libstdc++ to use __has_builtin, see
6aa12274007bccbae2691a9d336c37fe167bb535 for a recent change to fix
feature detection for Intel.
