Re: _sntprintf and _sntprintf_s

I think in this case number of characters means TCHAR's, not number of
codepoints.

This looks terrible. Actually _snwprintf_s looks mostly OK, since the
programmer wants to do calculations on the number of wide characters and
keep track of how much space remains in the buffer. But why does
_snprintf_s return the number of characters instead of the number of
bytes?
If a programmer is using the ANSI version then the programmer wants to do
calculations on the number of bytes in order to keep track of how much
space
remains in the buffer. I also hope that _snwprintf_s doesn't have a split
personality on the treatment of surrogate pairs.
