This will cause a SEGFAULT if strp is NULL as g_strdup_vprintf doesn't
abort on failure.

We can use g_vasprintf which returns length.

Oh yes, that makes life easier.

But if we want to return only -1 or 0 and let the caller to decide on
the length there are only few places to modify.

    src/nwfilter/nwfilter_dhcpsnoop.c:1770
    src/util/virfile.c:3410

[0]


These two looks like the only cases where we actually care about the
length.  There are some other cases for which we would have to only
tweak to comparison:

    src/libxl/libxl_domain.c:916:

There is a function virDoubleToStr that returns the length but it's
usage doesn't care about the length so we would have to change the
description.

There something else hiding as we break all test suite output
if we return 0


Yes, that's the virFilePrintf function Pavel pointed out above [0]
