While the documentation states that vasprintf and asprintf belong to the the <stdio.h> header, the C++ header <cstdio> doesn't contain any definition to them, thus forcing one to also #include <stdio.h>
Comment 1 Richard Biener 2009-03-24 11:20:48 UTC 
These are GNU extensions not appropriate for a ISO C++ header file (the
standard lists which functions are to be made available in the std namespace).
So at most they could be added to the __gnucxx namespace?
Comment 2 Paolo Carlini 2009-03-24 11:36:02 UTC 
This is definitely not a bug. Note, in our implementation <stdio.h> is included anyway from <cstdio> as an implementation detail.
