Hi Jc,

Looks good to me. I'm okay with using "buffer=NULL, len=0" approach.
The only note - could you fix indent of the inserted lines for consistency (they have 2 spaces indents, but the files use 4 spaces indents). No need to resend webrev.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for looking at it. That simplifies the webrev to this then:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jcbeyler/8201224/webrev.02/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejcbeyler/8201224/webrev.02/>

I inlined a few comments on your answers.

Thanks for the review and hopefully the new one is better :-)

Thanks,
Jc

    Hi Jc,

    Calculation of the required buffer size ("old fashion way") looks
    error-prone.
    I don't think we need to care about ancient SUSv2, I suppose C99 is
    supported by all (or almost all) compilers.

    But if you want to keep the code SUSv2-compatible, you can do
    something like
        char dummy = 0;
        int requiredSize = snprintf(&dummy, sizeof(dummy),
    formatString,...);


Perfect :) For some reason I misread that snprintf would return the number of bytes written and thus would be at max the length.

In this case, you cannot do it this way, the compiler produces warnings due to the dummy character can't even take the format. To solve it, I would have to create a buffer at least big enough for empty strings and small numbers. We can go down that route if you prefer to instead of using NULL.


    Other note:
    "if (obtained_size == len) " is useless
    obtained_size is a result of snprintf(result, len, ...)
    and snprintf returns number of chars _excluding_ terminating null, so
    obtained_size is always less than len.


Technically this was to guard the case that we were not going over the limit as I misread the return of the method. You are right, sorry about that.

Thanks again!
Jc
