In BSD 4.2, file /usr/include/stdio.h contains the following declaration for sprintf(): #ifdef vax char *sprintf(); /* too painful to do right */ #endif The same lines are present in /usr/include/stdio.h on our SUN 4.2 systems, where they make even less sense. Since "vax" is not #defined there, sprintf() is never declared to be char *. This causes subsequent problems with lint(). Can anyone tell me why the #ifdef vax lines are present on either system (VAX or SUN)?
