> sprintf may write beyond the buffer passed, snprintf is the safer option.

The origininal problem was writing beyond the buffer. By replacing sprintf with snprintf the problem now is truncation which goes unnoticed. Why not detect and throw if truncation occurs?

import core.stdc.stdarg;
extern (C) size_t snprintf_without_silent_truncation (char *s, size_t len,
const char *fmt, ...)
{
   import std.exception;
   import std.stdio;
   import std.format;
   va_list args;
   va_start (args, fmt);
   auto rc = vsnprintf (s, len, fmt, args);
   va_end (args);
   enforce (rc >= 0, "vsnprintf failed");
   enforce (rc < len, format!"vsnprintf: tried to write %d B + \\0 into buffer
of size %d B" (rc, len));
   return rc;
}

The bug report has been closed because the initial claim has been resolved. Please do not reopen bug reports, instead file new ones.

However, for this particular case I don't think that is necessary since underflow is not an issue.
