Re: sprintf with mips

The whole procedure is here: (its a thread!)

void *dblogger_fn (void *arg)
{
	char insertvalues[256];
	memset (insertvalues, 0x0, 256 );
        conn = PQconnectdb("host=192.168.1.2 dbname=wlan_db  user=gavle password=brynaes");
        tabellename = "traffic";
	
	if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_BAD) 
	{
		fprintf(stderr, "Connection to database '%s' failed.\n",dbName);
		fprintf(stderr, "%s", PQerrorMessage(conn));
		exit_nicely(conn);
  	}
  	else if (PQstatus(conn) == CONNECTION_OK) 
  	{
  		printf("Connected with database ...\n");
  		printf("Datenbank : %s\n", PQdb(conn));
  		printf("User      : %s\n", PQuser(conn));
  	}
  	while(1)
  	{
  		sleep(500);
  		snprintf(insertvalues, 255 ," %d , ' %s ' , %d ", counter, "192.168.1.1", mytraffic->num_frames);
  		printf("input-string: %s\n", insertvalues);
  		printf("Counter: %d\n", counter);
		insertinto(dbName, conn, tabellename, insertvalues);
		counter++;
  	}

I don't know where is here a chance for an overflow? Consider, now with 'snprintf' it works, but before with sprintf there was this problem, BUT only on the mips-target board. On x86 it worked also with sprintf!
