Dear all, After struggling for one week to to integrate FreeBSD's vfprintf.c into PostgreSQL I finally gave up. It is too dependent on underlying FreeBSD system functions. To incorporate it into PostgreSQL we need to move vfprintf.c file itself, two dozen files form gdtoa and a half a dozen __XXtoa.c files scattered in apparently random fashion all around FreeBSD source tree.
Instead I researched some other implementations of snprintf on the web released under a license compatible with PostgreSQL's. The most suitable one I have come upon is Trio [http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/trio/]. It is distributed under a MIT-like license which, I think will be compatible with us. What do you think about it? Shall I abandon FreeBSD and go ahead ÄncorporatÄng TrÄo? And by the way, what Äs the conclusÄon of snprÄntf() vs. pg_snprintf() and UNIX libraries discussion a week ago? Which one shall I implement?
