Possible. This seems to work:

/* Exit with status 0 if vsprintf returns the length of the string printed.
   Some systems return a pointer to the string instead. */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

int main ()
{
  char buf[128];
  va_list ap;
  if (vsprintf (buf, "1234", ap) == 4)
    exit (0);
  exit (-1);
}


Does this work also on other people's machines?
