Actually, what I wrote was completely bogus: without adding these
functions to AC_CHECK_DECLS, the respective HAVE_DECL_* macros will
never get defined, so what I suggested is equivalent to including
these prototypes unconditionally, which is certainly not what I meant.
Sorry.
Here's a revised patch, now together with the configury stuff.
include/ChangeLog:
2005-05-14 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* libiberty.h: (snprintf) [!HAVE_DECL_SNPRINTF]: Declare if
needed.
(vsnprintf) [!HAVE_DECL_VSNPRINTF]: Declare if needed.
bfd/ChangeLog:
2005-05-14 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* configure.in: Add snprintf and vsnprintf to AC_CHECK_DECLS.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2005-05-14 Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
* configure.ac: Add snprintf and vsnprintf to AC_CHECK_DECLS.
