    Problem Text

    tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_X Test No:33

    The Single UNIX Specification, Version 2 description of va_list,
    defined in stdargs.h, says

    "The type va_list is defined for variables used to traverse the list".

    The above description does not mention the type of va_list. The
    test suite assumes that va_list is declared as a pointer variable and
    assigns a value of '0' to it. But in our implementation the va_list
    is declared as a structure, hence the initialization fails.
    This is a problem with the test suite.

    Test Output

    Test-Set Name: /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_X/T.stdio_X
    ----------------------------------------------------


    ************************************************************************
    /tset/ANSI.hdr/misc/stdio_X/T.stdio_X 33 Failed

    Test Description:
    When the header <stdio.h> is included, then the function prototype int
    vsnprintf(char *, size_t, const char *, va_list) is declared.
    This test is not executed in XPG3 and XPG4 test modes.

    Test Strategy:
    VERIFY a prototype exists.
    SUPPLY a correct prototype.
