Well, if you want from me any improvements in this patch, I can do it.
Just let me know what is needed to fix/change.
However, cleaning the code from such workarounds seems tempting.
I wonder if
there is a real use case for this or is it just an experiment for fun?
There is a real use case to allow writing new DLL plugins with modern
mingw-w64 tools for older applications which were compiled with VC6 (and
which use VC6 msvcrt.dll).
Jacek, do we accept this patch, or suggest a `_vscprintf` in
'libmsvcrt.a' which overrides the one from MSVCRT (and provides it if
MSVCRT doesn't, so it's always available)? The latter seems better.
I guess that could be a nicer way of handling it, so it doesn't only help in
this particular case, but for any caller that happens to call that function.
So, should I change my patch to do this?
I think that would be nicer, yes. By adding that source file to
src_msvcrt32, it would only get included for 32 bit x86 libmsvcrt.a and
nothing else.
