sdesc: "C-style formatted output in C++ (runtime)"
ldesc: "libasprintf makes the C formatted output routines
(fprintf et. al.) usable in C++ programs, with C++ Standard
Library strings and iostreams.  For instance:
   cerr << autosprintf ('syntax error in %s:%d: %s', filename, line, errstring);
This is important for gettext/internationalized C++ programs, as the
format string in the autosprintf example can be translated as a single
unit, while the C++-traditional style cannot.  Further, autosprintf supports
positional parameters in the format string, which is important when the
translation rearranges the arguments."
