this was a POSIX requirement that was always in conflict with ISO C, which specified a well-defined behavior for snprintf and swprintf so long as the actual number of bytes/characters produced did not exceed INT_MAX. I originally raised this conflict for snprintf with the Austin Group as tracker issue 761, which was never resolved. it was later reported again as issue 1219, and as a result the conflicting requirement has been removed. the corresponding issue with swprintf does not seem to have been addressed, but as the same reasoning applies to it, I am removing the limitation on n for swprintf as well.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
