sprintf deprecation warning on macOS #117

Description

I came across a compiler warning regarding sprintf. On macOS 13, the function was deprecated in favor of vsprintf. This deprecation has affected multiple code bases, including VkFFT and GROMACS. Hopefully you can fix it early, as additional clients may face the compiler warning.
