Definitely, on both accounts. I was not claiming that it was safe; I
was only claiming it was free, and that it was snprintf
implementation.
To re-iterate my points:
- if you think it is bad enough to deserve attention, propose
a specific replacement; that will then need careful inspection
- Given that there are three callers of this snprintf, and
Given that two of them are guaranteed to never overrun the buffer, and
Given that the third one will do so only under obscure circumstances, and
Given that Python will terminate under these circumstances, rather than
silently operating with wrong data,
I conclude that this doesn't deserve attention.
