34 // SafeSPrintf() is a type-safe and completely self-contained version of
35 // snprintf().
36 //
37 // SafeSNPrintf() is an alternative function signature that can be used when
38 // not dealing with fixed-sized buffers. When possible, SafeSPrintf() should
39 // always be used instead of SafeSNPrintf()
40 //
41 // These functions allow for formatting complicated messages from contexts that
42 // require strict async-signal-safety. In fact, it is safe to call them from
43 // any low-level execution context, as they are guaranteed to make no library
44 // or system calls. It deliberately never touches "errno", either.
45 //
46 // The only exception to this rule is that in debug builds the code calls
47 // RAW_CHECK() to help diagnose problems when the format string does not
48 // match the rest of the arguments. In release builds, no CHECK()s are used,
49 // and SafeSPrintf() instead returns an output string that expands only
50 // those arguments that match their format characters. Mismatched arguments
51 // are ignored.
52 //
53 // The code currently only supports a subset of format characters:
54 //   %c, %o, %d, %x, %X, %p, and %s.
55 //
56 // SafeSPrintf() aims to be as liberal as reasonably possible. Integer-like
57 // values of arbitrary width can be passed to all of the format characters
58 // that expect integers. Thus, it is explicitly legal to pass an "int" to
59 // "%c", and output will automatically look at the LSB only. It is also
60 // explicitly legal to pass either signed or unsigned values, and the format
61 // characters will automatically interpret the arguments accordingly.
62 //
63 // It is still not legal to mix-and-match integer-like values with pointer
64 // values. For instance, you cannot pass a pointer to %x, nor can you pass an
65 // integer to %p.
66 //
67 // The one exception is "0" zero being accepted by "%p". This works-around
68 // the problem of C++ defining NULL as an integer-like value.
69 //
70 // All format characters take an optional width parameter. This must be a
71 // positive integer. For %d, %o, %x, %X and %p, if the width starts with
72 // a leading '0', padding is done with '0' instead of ' ' characters.
73 //
74 // There are a few features of snprintf()-style format strings, that
75 // SafeSPrintf() does not support at this time.
76 //
77 // If an actual user showed up, there is no particularly strong reason they
78 // couldn't be added. But that assumes that the trade-offs between complexity
79 // and utility are favorable.
80 //
81 // For example, adding support for negative padding widths, and for %n are all
82 // likely to be viewed positively. They are all clearly useful, low-risk, easy
83 // to test, don't jeopardize the async-signal-safety of the code, and overall
84 // have little impact on other parts of SafeSPrintf() function.
85 //
86 // On the other hands, adding support for alternate forms, positional
87 // arguments, grouping, wide characters, localization or floating point numbers
88 // are all unlikely to ever be added.
89 //
90 // SafeSPrintf() and SafeSNPrintf() mimic the behavior of snprintf() and they
91 // return the number of bytes needed to store the untruncated output. This
92 // does *not* include the terminating NUL byte.
93 //
94 // They return -1, iff a fatal error happened. This typically can only happen,
95 // if the buffer size is a) negative, or b) zero (i.e. not even the NUL byte
96 // can be written). The return value can never be larger than SSIZE_MAX-1.
97 // This ensures that the caller can always add one to the signed return code
98 // in order to determine the amount of storage that needs to be allocated.
99 //
100 // While the code supports type checking and while it is generally very careful
101 // to avoid printing incorrect values, it tends to be conservative in printing
102 // as much as possible, even when given incorrect parameters. Typically, in
103 // case of an error, the format string will not be expanded. (i.e. something
104 // like SafeSPrintf(buf, "%p %d", 1, 2) results in "%p 2"). See above for
105 // the use of RAW_CHECK() in debug builds, though.
106 //
107 // Basic example:
108 //   char buf[20];
109 //   base::strings::SafeSPrintf(buf, "The answer: %2d", 42);
110 //
111 // Example with dynamically sized buffer (async-signal-safe). This code won't
112 // work on Visual studio, as it requires dynamically allocating arrays on the
113 // stack. Consider picking a smaller value for |kMaxSize| if stack size is
114 // limited and known. On the other hand, if the parameters to SafeSNPrintf()
115 // are trusted and not controllable by the user, you can consider eliminating
116 // the check for |kMaxSize| altogether. The current value of SSIZE_MAX is
117 // essentially a no-op that just illustrates how to implement an upper bound:
118 //   const size_t kInitialSize = 128;
119 //   const size_t kMaxSize = std::numeric_limits<ssize_t>::max();
120 //   size_t size = kInitialSize;
121 //   for (;;) {
122 //     char buf[size];
123 //     size = SafeSNPrintf(buf, size, "Error message \"%s\"\n", err) + 1;
124 //     if (sizeof(buf) < kMaxSize && size > kMaxSize) {
125 //       size = kMaxSize;
126 //       continue;
127 //     } else if (size > sizeof(buf))
128 //       continue;
129 //     write(2, buf, size-1);
130 //     break;
131 //   }
