https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/tags/1.3.0/memory/unix/apr_pools.c?revision=661875&view=markup#l1100
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/tags/1.3.0/strings/apr_snprintf.c?revision=661875&view=markup#l953

I didn't check later versions. (In theory, apr-2.0 might have
changed this behaviour. I have no reason to think it did.)

I found it with ctags(1) with -IAPR_DECLARE:

% ctags --extra=+qf --c-types=+p --python-types=-i -IAPR_DECLARE -R .
% grep apr_pvsprintf tags
apr_pvsprintf include/apr_strings.h /^APR_DECLARE(char *) apr_pvsprintf(apr_pool_t *p, const char *fmt, va_list ap);$/;" p
apr_pvsprintf memory/unix/apr_pools.c /^APR_DECLARE(char *) apr_pvsprintf(apr_pool_t *pool, const char *fmt, va_list ap)$/;" f
% vim -t apr_pvsprintf

Cheers,

Daniel
