As per comments #5 and #6, I think the proper solution is to deprecate name_fmt, since it seems to be fundamentally incorrect to have it in libc, and keeping it un-deprecated just encourages people to use it incorrectly or unsuccessfully. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
