g++ emits multiple publicly visible instances of vsnprintf()
keith Today, you should be using MinGW's GCC-9.2.0 release, and mingwrt-5.3.1/w32api-5.3.1.
This appears to be a duplicate of ticket #39757, which I raised myself, following up on the e-mails to which you refer, and subsequently closed as "fixed", for mingwrt-5.2.3. Unless you can provide a formal test case, to demonstrate that the #39757 resolution was not effective, when compiling with current tools, I will close this as an "out of date" duplicate.
Apologies, Keith. I did search for a ticket with vsnprintf or mingwrt in it but apparently, being new at this site, I didn't do it right.
Thank you for the fix information. All is well now.

No problem; FTR, when viewing the ticket list, closed tickets are not shown in the default view. To see them, you need to check the "closed" option box, then click the "search" button to refresh the view.
Thank you for the fix information. All is well now.
Thanks for this confirmation. Closing.

Per Keith (see https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/lists/archive/users/2019-August/000334.html), the changes to <stdio.h>, to resolve https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/39224, cause g++ to emit multiple publicly visible instances of vsnprintf()
As a result, I get this link error: c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/8.2.0/../../..\libmingwex.a(vsnprintf.o):(.text+0x0): multiple definition of vsnprintf; Sudoku16.o:c:/mingw/include/stdio.h:491: first defined here
Note that, contrary to statements in messages following the one I referred above, I continue to get the link error after downgrading to mingwrt-5.2.1 and also mingwrt-5.1.1
So, per Keith's request in the above message, I'm opening a formal request to hopefully get this resolved.
