Is it possible not to use snprintf or any other stdio functionalities to throw std::logic_error in standard library containers?

// I have disabled libstdcxx verbose

#include<fast_io.h>

int main(int argc,char** argv)
{
                std::string_view str(*argv);
                puts(str.substr(4).data());
}

But that doesn't use snprintf.

And that doesn't use snprintf either.

Have you actually seen a dependency on stdio from these functions, or
are you just assuming?
