We do on some platforms where configure decides the system version is deficient ... I don't recall the exact conditions at the moment. I wouldn't really have expected that to happen on any *BSD, but you could look into the generated Makefile.global to find out. > For reference, the relevant part of C99: > 7.19.6.5 2 If n is zero, nothing is written, and s may be a null > pointer. For reference, the relevant part of the Single Unix Spec: If the value of n is zero on a call to snprintf(), an unspecified value less than 1 is returned. So the behavior you'd like to depend on is unportable anyway, and that coding will get rejected if submitted as a Postgres patch. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
