snprintf not a member of std in c++locale.h

[Paul Dufresne]

Well, I am not too good at C and C++.
Here I am trying to compile a console program written in C++, and after having
created a project file that does seems to have the correct include
directories, I now get a last bug that seems internal to Dev-C++.
Googling 'snprintf not a member of std' seems to show that the problems would
exist from about 2006.

Anyway, I am using a beta version: Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 on Windows XP.
68 C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\mingw32\bits\c++locale.h snprintf' is not a member ofstd'

Should probably mention that I do have a locally, manually installed MinGW
somewhere else on the box.

People on the net seems to suggest that the solution is to uncheck the
recursive include checkbox.
I do not find this checkbox.

For now my workaround was to comment out:
In c++locale.h:
//#ifdef _GLIBCXX_USE_C99
// const int ret = std::snprintf(out, size, fmt, prec, v);
//#else
const int ret = std::sprintf(out, fmt, prec, v);
//#endif
std::setlocale(LC_ALL, sav);

And in cstdio:

if !_GLIBCXX_USE_C99_DYNAMIC

//using ::snprintf;
using ::vfscanf;

and later in the same file:
namespace std
{
//using gnu_cxx::snprintf;
using gnu_cxx::vfscanf;

Now compilation seems to go a bit farther.

hum hum Well, now that I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode I realize that these people having this bug were on a Mac IDE called Xcode. And that's where the 'recursive include' checkbox must be.
