snprintf and g++

[Gervase Lam]

I've found out why I needed to keep on putting #include<stdio.h> into 
files with snprintf() in them.  I had compiled Pingus (and therefore 
Clanlib/Hermes) with g++ v2.96 and not g++ v3.0.4.

Initially, g++ could not find the prototypes for snprintf, which I 
corrected.  Then it couldn't find the ostream include file.  After 
finding out that 2.96 was being used, I decided to change the links for 
g++ to refer to g++ 3.0.4, which had ostream in a better place.  After 
changing the links, I was able to compile the files that used ostream.

However, the link changes also resulted in no errors in the files that had 
snprintf, even though the files did not have #include<stdio.h>.  Strictly 
speaking, there should be a #include<stdio.h> in a file where snprintf is 
as it could be that the other include files might not have 
#include<stdio.h> in any of them.

Even though I have no compilation errors now, I am still going to attach 
the patched snprintf files to this e-mail.

Thanks,
Gervase.
