* Remove some workarounds for old compilers.Guy Harris2019-08-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Require Visual Studio 2015 or later; fail if we don't have it, and remove checks for older versions. That means we have C99-compliant snprintf() and vsnprintf(); require them when configuring for UN*X, and then use them directly, rather than having wrappers for systems lacking them. If we're using MSVC, skip the tests for options to request C99 compatibility - either we have VS 2015, which is sufficient, or we don't, in which case we fail.
* Use asprintf(), and provide a version for systems that lack it.Guy Harris2019-02-091-0/+51
This lets us get rid of places where we calculate the length that a formatted string will require, attempt to allocate a buffer for the string, and then format the string into that buffer; this way, we don't have to hope we got the calculation correct, we rely on the same code that formats strings to do the calculation. Provide versions of asprintf() for: 1) Windows and the MSVC runtime, where we use _vscprintf() to determine the length; 2) systems that have (what is presumed to be) an snprintf() that, when handed a too-short buffer, returns the number of characters that would have been written had the buffer been long enough (as C99 specifies), where we format to a one-character buffer to determine the length; 3) systems that don't have snprintf(), where we use the asprintf() provided by the missing/snprintf.c file that also provides snprintf(). While we're at it, include "portability.h" in missing/win_snprintf.c, to get declaration/definition checking done.
