If the string corresponding to a %s specifier can change under us, we might end up copying a \0 byte to the output buffer. There might be callers who expect the output buffer to contain a genuine C string whose length is exactly the snprintf return value (assuming truncation hasn't happened or has been checked for). We can avoid this by only passing over the source string once, stopping the first time we meet a nul byte (or when we reach the given precision), and then letting widen_string() handle left/right space padding. As a small bonus, this code reuse also makes the generated code slightly smaller. Signed-off-by:
