Hello. I am trying to use the CRT function _vscprintf(..) in an application I am programming and I keep getting the error:
error C2065: '_vscprintf' : undeclared identifier
I am not exactly what steps I should take to make this function availible to myself, any advice?
It would seem to be a new function in the .net versions of the compiler.
Oh no! Could you tell me where you saw that it is new in .NET? I thought it would be much more widespread with compatibility said to be "ANSI, Win 98, Win Me, Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP". Oh well, thank you.
Well I got the .net from the path
MSDN Home > MSDN Library > Development Tools and Languages > Visual Studio .NET > Visual C++ > Reference > Visual C++ Libraries > Run-Time Library Reference > Alphabetical Function Reference > S Through Z
As for being ANSI, well read the disclaimer
"The names of Microsoft-specific functions and global variables begin with a single underscore."
Now you might be able to download the latest platform SDK, which should get you updated header files and library files. But I've no idea how well it might work with an older compiler.
I would use vsprintf() and make it work somehow.
