FAQ: Portable printf spec for Pascal strings

  • Subject: FAQ: Portable printf spec for Pascal strings

After some review I found that the portable way of printing Pascal strings I posted last week has a small bug: it overruns the string if the character at pstr[pstr0]+1] is not null. This is due to different behavior in printf between field width specifications and precision specifications.

For the record, the portable way to printf Pascal strings in Mac OS X (because it doesn't support the MSL extension %#s) is

printf("%.*s", pstr[0], &pstr[1])
