So (*str)[len_domain] would be the trailing NUL after the domain part in the next call? Or would that be (*str)[len_domain-1]? I am puzzled by off-by-one with your "including the trailing NUL" remark. >> + /* >> + * Alloc needed space of the strings >> + */ >> + ALLOC_ARRAY((*str), (size_t)len_domain + (size_t)len_user); This obviously assumes for domain 'd' and user 'u', we want "d/u" and len_domain must be 1+1 (including NUL) and len_user must be 1+1 (including NUL). But then ... >> + translate_sid_to_user = LookupAccountSidA(NULL, sid, >> + (*str) + len_domain, &len_user, *str, &len_domain, &pe_use); ... ((*str)+len_domain) is presumably the beginning of the user part, and (*str)+0) is where the domain part is to be stored. Because len_domain includes the terminating NUL for the domain part, (*str)[len_domain-1] is that NUL, no? And that is what you want to overwrite to make the two strings <d> <NUL> <u> <NUL> into a single one <d> <slash> <u> <NUL>.
