Hi Simon,

From a technical point of view, it looks like a fine patch.  But it is
hard for me (as a non-Windows dev) to understand *why* this is needed.
It would be good to explain the rationale for a change so others can
understand it as quickly as possible.

I won't dive deep into how to write good commit messages here, as this
blog post covers it very well: <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/>

For this particular patch, I hope Selva or Heiko get a chance to chime
in with their technical review.

snwprintf() is not defined in Windows SDK. _snwprintf() is. 
[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/snprintf-snprintf-snprintf-l-snwprintf-snwprintf-l]

Mingw probably accepts both. That's why nobody noticed. Looking around OpenVPN 
code, I have found some code using _snwprintf(), some snwprintf(). Probably, 
since MSVC was neglected for so long, nobody paid attention to such a subtle 
difference.

For the code to compile on MSVC all snwprintf() should be replaced with 
_snwprintf(). Or, since the prefix underscore imposed by Windows SDK is not 
mostly aesthetical, the following #define could be introduced:
#ifdef _MSVC_VER
#define snwprintf _snwprintf
#endif

Nevertheless, I suggest consistent use of snwprintf/_snwprintf.

Please apologize. I'll learn. Thank you for pointing me in the right 
direction.

Best regards,
Simon

While its true that mingw accepts both and Windows has only the latter, I
think the best option here is swprintf. Its ISO-C, does the same thing as
_snwprintf with added advantage that nul-termination is guaranteed by the
standard (though we need not bank on that and better continue the practice
of explicit nul termination).  Note that swprintf is like snprintf in that
it takes the buffer size as an argument.

Hi,



I agree migration towards ISO-C's snwprintf() is better.



We can do it two way: using #define, or implementing a simple wrapper 
function. The advantage of wrapper function is we can introduce guaranteed 
null-terminated output to match ISO-C experience.



Best regards,

Simon

Just to be sure, ISO-C is 'swprintf' not 'snwprintf'. In spite of 'n'
misisng from that name, it takes the buffer size argument and nul
terminates even if output is truncated.

Hi,



Thank you for your feedback.



Based on it, I have sent a new patch "[PATCH] Uniform snwprintf() across MinGW 
and MSVC compilers", that supersedes this one.



Best regards,

Simon
