Just for the record: on FreeBSD 6.1 there are problems with snprintf, strcasecmp, and (v)asprintf using these flags. > Uh, I wouldn't use `-1' as an error indicator of type `size_t': `size_t' > is declared unsigned on many platforms, comparing it with `-1' will > cause warnings on many systems.

I've changed the function to return 0 in case of an error, as a buffer size of 0 is not going to do us any good. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ libdbi-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-devel
