We are already not compliant, since we overload %p.

Not sure if I understand #1: If len is 0, we return 0 and don't check
buff at all. Or do you mean a length of 0 (or 1) should set
*buffer to NULL?


right now, if length is 0, we return 0, and that is it.  However, the spec
says that if length is zero, then *buffer is allowed to be NULL, but
whether it is or isn't, *buffer isn't modified, and snprintf returns the
number of characters that _would_ be returned if length was infinite.

An example:

apr_snprintf(p, NULL, 0, "%s BAR", "FOO");

currently returns 0, after the changes, it would return 7.

8, surely?

Cheers,

Ben.
