Subject: Re: sprintf override by StrPrintF. Why? From: "Dave Lippincott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2004 09:40:59 -0500 X-Message-Number: 13
The OS doesn't support sprintf so you must use StrPrintF. I assume the #define is to force you to use the supported routine. In fact, the Palm OS does not support most standard C API calls, so use the Palm version of them.
While it is possible to link in standard C functions, the benefits of using the PalmOS variants are in program speed and program size, since Palm OS provides the code for their variants within the OS. The speed issue is especially true on OS5, as the Palm OS functions are implemented in ARM code.
