3 /* snprintf() and vsnprintf() wrappers.
4 
5    If the platform has vsnprintf, we use it, else we
6    emulate it in a half-hearted way.  Even if the platform has it, we wrap
7    it because platforms differ in what vsnprintf does in case the buffer
8    is too small:  C99 behavior is to return the number of characters that
9    would have been written had the buffer not been too small, and to set
10    the last byte of the buffer to \0.  At least MS _vsnprintf returns a
11    negative value instead, and fills the entire buffer with non-\0 data.
12 
13    The wrappers ensure that str[size-1] is always \0 upon return.
14 
15    PyOS_snprintf and PyOS_vsnprintf never write more than size bytes
16    (including the trailing '\0') into str.
17 
18    Return value (rv):
19 
20     When 0 <= rv < size, the output conversion was unexceptional, and
21     rv characters were written to str (excluding a trailing \0 byte at
22     str[rv]).
23 
24     When rv >= size, output conversion was truncated, and a buffer of
25     size rv+1 would have been needed to avoid truncation.  str[size-1]
26     is \0 in this case.
27 
28     When rv < 0, "something bad happened".  str[size-1] is \0 in this
29     case too, but the rest of str is unreliable.  It could be that
30     an error in format codes was detected by libc, or on platforms
31     with a non-C99 vsnprintf simply that the buffer wasn't big enough
32     to avoid truncation, or on platforms without any vsnprintf that
33     PyMem_Malloc couldn't obtain space for a temp buffer.
34 
35    CAUTION:  Unlike C99, str != NULL and size > 0 are required.
36    Also, size must be smaller than INT_MAX.
