Ummm... Kornsy? All the *printf()'s are available for your use in every
standard C++ library I've ever come across, if you really want to risk the
security and portability problems.
Or are you telling us that you have a C compiler that magically compiles the
bare symbols:
"%08x", x
into some sort of string and/or output? That might be cool, but I think
that's Perl ;-).
