Hi,

glibc's gcvt(1) is documented to be MT-Safe | AS-Safe | AC-Safe.
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/manual/latest/html_mono/libc.html#index-gcvt>
It's an interesting function to be called from a signal handler, where
snprintf(3) is not available.

But musl implements it as a call to sprintf(3); that doesn't seem safe.

$ grepc gcvt .
./include/stdlib.h:char *gcvt(double, int, char *);
./src/stdlib/gcvt.c:char *gcvt(double x, int n, char *b)
{
	sprintf(b, "%.*g", n, x);
	return b;
}

Have a lovely day!
Alex
