Never ever use sprintf for anything.

If you use "%d" and know it will be an int? You know how many chars you’ll have at max, no buffer-overflow possible. (You might argue here, that at some time we will habe 128-bit ints, but hey you should recode your app then anyway or just have a buffer large enough to handle that right at the start)

And yes - you are right, use snprintf instead... int might become 256 bit.



See here for why:

Hi
I need to display an int with  CGContextShowTextAtPoint
that only accepts char arrays.
How do I go about it ?
I can't find how to convert an int into a char* in objective-C !!
