I am trying to use scanf/sscanf in a function, it compiled ok but on linking it complains of unresolved external.

LINKER/LOCATOR RLST7 V2.22.09.203 Lite (16 Kb code limited)

***ERROR 100 : UNRESOLVED EXTERNAL
SYMBOL : ?sscanf(SOLAR)

Using:
Ride7 7.22.09.0203
RKit-STM8 for Ride7 2.22.09.0203

FYI printf/sprintf is used, compiled and linking is ok and working.

Well, I'm sorry, but scanf//sscanf aren't currently implemented in the STM8 libraries whereas their are defined in stdio.h

All other conversion routines (atoi, strtod, ...) are implemented.

We have the same problem 3 years later now in nov 2012.

Is sscanf function still not implemented ?
It is crucial functionality of standard library for us to change our development environment to Ride7.
