Let me clarify that: The printf.c file has been part of SQLite since the beginning - over 15 years. The SQL "printf()" function was added in 3.8.3, but that is just a 25-line wrapper (https://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact/ecdd69ec6?ln=223-247) over the preexisting printf implementation that has been in the source tree since 2000, and which was actually written over a decade prior to that, in the late 1980s. -- D.
