//
// This file implements the format() function, which can be used with other
// LLVM subsystems to provide printf-style formatting.  This gives all the power
// and risk of printf.  This can be used like this (with raw_ostreams as an
// example):
//
//    OS << "mynumber: " << format("%4.5f", 1234.412) << '\n';
//
// Or if you prefer:
//
//  OS << format("mynumber: %4.5f\n", 1234.412);
