The current code will go into an infinite loop if the printf generated
string is >= 1000, AND exactly 1 character smaller than the amount of free
space in the buffer. When this happens, we are dropped into the loop body,
but nothing will actually change, because count == (buf->size - buf->use - 1),
and virBufferGrow returns unchanged if count < (buf->size - buf->use)
Fix this by removing the '- 1' bit from 'size'. The *nprintf functions
handle
the NULL byte for us anyways, so we shouldn't need to manually accommodate
for it.
Here's a bug where we are actually hitting this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602772
v2: Eric's improvements: while -> if (), remove extra va_list variable,
make sure we report buffer error if snprintf fails
v3: Add tests/virbuftest which reproduces the infinite loop before this
patch, works correctly after
