Dear Jeroen,

Which is "better"? A is obviously much shorter and more elegant; but B is much more robust - A will happily crash your system when you try to print a string like "s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s%s" (not to mention that this may open a classic attack vector to break into a running system).
Ignore me. This example was obviously crap. What I had in mind was something where you would use
char *s; ... printf(s);
Sorry...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
