It's only reasonable to assume that gcc matches sprintf if gcc is the native (vendor-supplied) compiler for the platform. That's not the case on gaur. It used to be very very commonly not the case, though I think a lot of vendors have now abandoned their proprietary compilers. If we were to test for this at all, I think we'd need to make the test separate from the one for sprintf's behavior. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
