// SafeSPrintf() is a type-safe and completely self-contained version of
// snprintf().
//
// SafeSNPrintf() is an alternative function signature that can be used when
// not dealing with fixed-sized buffers. When possible, SafeSPrintf() should
// always be used instead of SafeSNPrintf()
//
// These functions allow for formatting complicated messages from contexts that
// require strict async-signal-safety. In fact, it is safe to call them from
// any low-level execution context, as they are guaranteed to make no library
// or system calls. It deliberately never touches "errno", either.
//
// The only exception to this rule is that in debug builds the code calls
// RAW_CHECK() to help diagnose problems when the format string does not
// match the rest of the arguments. In release builds, no CHECK()s are used,
// and SafeSPrintf() instead returns an output string that expands only
// those arguments that match their format characters. Mismatched arguments
// are ignored.
//
// The code currently only supports a subset of format characters:
//   %c, %o, %d, %x, %X, %p, and %s.
//
// SafeSPrintf() aims to be as liberal as reasonably possible. Integer-like
// values of arbitrary width can be passed to all of the format characters
// that expect integers. Thus, it is explicitly legal to pass an "int" to
// "%c", and output will automatically look at the LSB only. It is also
// explicitly legal to pass either signed or unsigned values, and the format
// characters will automatically interpret the arguments accordingly.
//
// It is still not legal to mix-and-match integer-like values with pointer
// values. For instance, you cannot pass a pointer to %x, nor can you pass an
// integer to %p.
//
// The one exception is "0" zero being accepted by "%p". This works-around
// the problem of C++ defining NULL as an integer-like value.
//
// All format characters take an optional width parameter. This must be a
// positive integer. For %d, %o, %x, %X and %p, if the width starts with
// a leading '0', padding is done with '0' instead of ' ' characters.
//
// There are a few features of snprintf()-style format strings, that
// SafeSPrintf() does not support at this time.
//
// If an actual user showed up, there is no particularly strong reason they
// couldn't be added. But that assumes that the trade-offs between complexity
// and utility are favorable.
//
// For example, adding support for negative padding widths, and for %n are all
// likely to be viewed positively. They are all clearly useful, low-risk, easy
// to test, don't jeopardize the async-signal-safety of the code, and overall
// have little impact on other parts of SafeSPrintf() function.
//
// On the other hands, adding support for alternate forms, positional
// arguments, grouping, wide characters, localization or floating point numbers
// are all unlikely to ever be added.
//
// SafeSPrintf() and SafeSNPrintf() mimic the behavior of snprintf() and they
// return the number of bytes needed to store the untruncated output. This
// does *not* include the terminating NUL byte.
//
// They return -1, iff a fatal error happened. This typically can only happen,
// if the buffer size is a) negative, or b) zero (i.e. not even the NUL byte
// can be written). The return value can never be larger than SSIZE_MAX-1.
// This ensures that the caller can always add one to the signed return code
// in order to determine the amount of storage that needs to be allocated.
//
// While the code supports type checking and while it is generally very careful
// to avoid printing incorrect values, it tends to be conservative in printing
// as much as possible, even when given incorrect parameters. Typically, in
// case of an error, the format string will not be expanded. (i.e. something
// like SafeSPrintf(buf, "%p %d", 1, 2) results in "%p 2"). See above for
// the use of RAW_CHECK() in debug builds, though.
//
// Basic example:
//   char buf[20];
//   base::strings::SafeSPrintf(buf, "The answer: %2d", 42);
//
// Example with dynamically sized buffer (async-signal-safe). This code won't
// work on Visual studio, as it requires dynamically allocating arrays on the
// stack. Consider picking a smaller value for |kMaxSize| if stack size is
// limited and known. On the other hand, if the parameters to SafeSNPrintf()
// are trusted and not controllable by the user, you can consider eliminating
// the check for |kMaxSize| altogether. The current value of SSIZE_MAX is
// essentially a no-op that just illustrates how to implement an upper bound:
//   const size_t kInitialSize = 128;
//   const size_t kMaxSize = std::numeric_limits<ssize_t>::max();
//   size_t size = kInitialSize;
//   for (;;) {
//     char buf[size];
//     size = SafeSNPrintf(buf, size, "Error message \"%s\"\n", err) + 1;
//     if (sizeof(buf) < kMaxSize && size > kMaxSize) {
//       size = kMaxSize;
//       continue;
//     } else if (size > sizeof(buf))
//       continue;
//     write(2, buf, size-1);
//     break;
//   }
