Post an example of the offending code. I suspect that the real problem
is that the code is not using an explicit 'using std::snprintf' when
it should, this is a very common problem in C++ code that has been
written at a time when including a header file was enough to bring the
std:: namespace names in that header to the global namespace. This is
no longer the case afaik on standard conformining implementations.
