The problem is not with platforms where the *printf functions are not available, but with those on which they 
exist.
For example see the difference between the ANSI C language C9X draft and the M$ documentation:
C9X:
       [#3] The vsnprintf function returns the number of characters
       that  would have been written had n been sufficiently large,
       not counting the terminating null character, or  a  negative
       value  if  an  encoding  error  occurred.   Thus,  the null-
       terminated output has been completely written if and only if
       the returned value is nonnegative and less than n.

M$:
_vsnprintf and _vsnwprintf return the number of characters written, not including the terminating null 
character, or a negative value if an output error occurs. For _vsnprintf, if the number of bytes to write 
exceeds buffer, then count bytes are written and -1 is returned.

See what I mean? And there exist other variations too.
