We want to make testers aware that snprintf() is not behaving identically on all platforms. In fact, glibc offers the least robust implementation. An observation leading to this test was reported by Zhixiong Chi.

/*
|
|
* It is not in violation of POSIX, but implementations of snprintf()
|
|
* differ in their ability to handle a situation where the target string
|
|
* to be produced by snprintf() is at the same time providing data, which
|
|
* are to be passed through the format string, and to be part of the new
|
|
* resulting string. The different BSD unices, as well as OpenSolaris,
|
|
* are known to correctly handle this, whereas glibc is known to fail.
|
|
*
|
|
* This test issues a warning that non-portable behaviour is possible,
|
|
* should the program detect a discrepancy on this system. If the
|
|
* program detects the macro PACKAGE to have value "inetutils", then
|
|
* get attention with the exit value 77, to fit with our testing
|
|
* frame work.
|
|
*
|
|
* When the environment variable VERBOSE is defined, an encouraging
|
|
* message is issued also in the presence of an enhanced implementation
|
|
* of snprintf().
