Sounds reasonable, and I haven't got a better name, but I'm trying to figure out why psprintf hasn't got the same issues which you mention in your other thread (eg: depending on vsnprintf to return the "would-be" result size). I'm also a bit nervous that we only check vsnprintf() success in Assert-enabled builds in psprintf, though I suppose that's all we're doing in appendStringInfo too. Thanks, Stephen
