Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added formatted-output APIs for applications using the C interface, including support for both variadic and pre-prepared argument lists.
    • Output can be written to a caller-provided buffer with a specified size, making these APIs available for bounded string formatting.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Walkthrough

This change adds PyOS_snprintf and PyOS_vsnprintf to the C API. The variadic function forwards its arguments to the va_list function, which calls vsnprintf when the size is within the supported limit.

Changes: Formatted string output API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add snprintf wrappers
crates/capi/src/pyerrors.rs
Adds PyOS_snprintf and PyOS_vsnprintf. The latter returns -666 when size exceeds c_int::MAX - 1. When size > 0 and the destination is non-null, it writes a terminating NUL at str[size - 1].
