Subject: [RFC v3 6/7] sprintf: Add [V]STPRINTF()
Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2025 07:06:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44d05559398c523d119afecdb3e748d37433fe9e.1751862634.git.alx@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1751862634.git.alx@kernel.org>
These macros take the array size argument implicitly to avoid programmer
mistakes. This guarantees that the input is an array, unlike the common
call
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ...);
which is dangerous if the programmer passes a pointer.
These macros are essentially the same as the 2-argument version of
strscpy(), but with a formatted string.
