I managed to knock this out during a meeting. The changes are pretty simple:
stb_image.handstb_image_write.has part of the R package distribution. This is important because we are not guaranteed that a user has these present on their system (which I think will cause a package installation failure if they don't).sprintf()insidestb_image_write.htosnprintf(). This is actually already done in a slightly different way in an open STB patch, although that still leaves ansprintf()call in, so maybe the patch I did is better, at least for CRAN.I patched this locally in the version of mlpack I just submitted to CRAN.
This fixes #3724.
