I notice that many examples in the manual use sprintf in constructing
database query strings. Is this just style, or are there some serious
advantages to sprintf over concatenating the string, assuming in both
cases that the variable parts of the string are properly sanitized?

Just style. Personally I don't like the whole sprintf thing and
prefer concatenation. Others prefer to put everything in double-
quotes so variables are automatically inserted. It's all personal
preference.

Others use query bindings, so you don't even have to bother sanitizing the
variable contents.
Again, just coding style, and convenience for each particular case.

Well I've been working all morning and have finally found the source of
my "bus error (signal 10)" errors. The source is odd. The error
occurs in any function where I make the function call:

This in itself isn't where the actual error occurs. The error occurs
at any later point, in the same function where the sprintf() call is
made, where I try to assign a value to one of the...

I have a C program which runs on a device using a Zilog Z180
microprocessor. While it can address 1MB of RAM, it can only address
64KB at any given time. And of that only 16KB can be used for "stack

environment.
The program "speaks" a proprietary protocol which sends ASCII strings

Hello,
I'm working in a quite large system that has some limitations. One of
those is that I can't use printf() to get an output on a screen. I'm
forced to use a special function, let's call it PrintOnConsole(), to get
the output on a console. The problem with PrintOnConsole() is that it
only takes strings as input arguments. On the other hand, I'm free to
use sprintf(), so I can convert everything I want to print into a string
and then...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
