You may be able to use Gnulib for the cross-platform support of asprintf and realpath. Gnulib will handle the implementation details for you. Gnulib also does a good job of listing problem platforms. Also see https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/asprintf.html and https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/realpath.html. Jeff
