title: VisualC++ 6.0 with unsigned long long and sprintf
body: <p>I want to sprintf() an unsigned long long value in visual C++ 6.0 (plain C).</p>
  
  <pre><code>char buf[1000]; //bad coding 
  unsigned __int64 l = 12345678; 
  char t1[6] = "test1"; 
  char t2[6] = "test2"; 
  sprintf(buf, "%lli, %s, %s", l, t1, t2);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>gives the result</p>
  
  <pre><code>12345678, (null), test1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(watch that <code>test2</code> is not printed)</p>
  
  <p>and <code>l = 123456789012345</code> it gives an exception handle</p>
  
  <p>any suggestions?</p>
