Subject: [ruby-core:31775] Ruby 1.9.2 redefines snprintf


Hello,

does anybody know _why_ 1.9.2 redefines libc symbols in r27214:

int ruby_snprintf(char *str, size_t n, char const *fmt, ...);
int ruby_vsnprintf(char *str, size_t n, char const *fmt, va_list ap);

#undef snprintf
#undef vsnprintf

#define snprintf ruby_snprintf
#define vsnprintf ruby_vsnprintf

The linker complains about following:

undefined reference to `ruby_snprintf'

It's usually a hard time embedding ruby, but this is just odd and I can
add an '#undef snprintf' to list of hacks you need to apply? 

Even if ruby isn't meant for embedding, I really consider this as bad
practise.

With best regards

Christoph
