[ECOS] sprintf problem

[ECOS] sprintf problem

[Narayanan, Anita (CTS)]

hi!

Iam running an eCos code which uses sprintf() function with i386PC both as
the host as well as the target machine. 

There is no problem with the sprintf() function when i copy a const char.
for  eg. 
sprintf(buf,"TYPE");

But the code gives a segmentation violation error at the sprintf() function
whenever i try to copy a variable value into some buffer. 
for eg.
sprintf(buf,"%d TYPE", m_type);


Has anybody encountered such a problem with sprintf() function with i386 as
the target machine? If so, can you kindly help us to resolve the issue?

regards
anita

I haven't. What happens if you run the eCos tests sprintf1 and sprintf2?
