Here's another version of the same UI idea, for the same diagnostic,
which tries to show the string data (in the name of readability; I
think this one is better than the above):
demo.c:6:3: note: buffer overflow...
snprintf of "%s" from:
|+-------------+|+---------------------------++---+|
|| 0 - 10 ||| 11 - 41 || 42||
||"this is lon"|||"g enough to cause trouble"||NUL||
|+-------------+|+---------------------------++---+|
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
|<--- ok --->|<-- overflow -->|
| | |
to 'buf':
| | |
++-------+|+-------------+|
|| 0 - 4 ||| 5 - 15 ||
||"msg: "|||"this is lon"||
++-------+|+-------------+|
