/*
    Uses wxVsnprintf and places the result into the this string.

    In ANSI build, wxVsnprintf is effectively vsnprintf but in Unicode build
    it is vswprintf.  Due to a discrepancy between vsnprintf and vswprintf in
    the ISO C99 (and thus SUSv3) standard the return value for the case of
    an undersized buffer is inconsistent.  For conforming vsnprintf
    implementations the function must return the number of characters that
    would have been printed had the buffer been large enough.  For conforming
    vswprintf implementations the function must return a negative number
    and set errno.

    What vswprintf sets errno to is undefined but Darwin seems to set it to
    EOVERFLOW.  The only expected errno are EILSEQ and EINVAL.  Both of
    those are defined in the standard and backed up by several conformance
    statements.  Note that ENOMEM mentioned in the manual page does not
    apply to swprintf, only wprintf and fwprintf.

    Official manual page:
    http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/swprintf.html

    Some conformance statements (AIX, Solaris):
    http://www.opengroup.org/csq/view.mhtml?RID=ibm%2FSD1%2F3
    http://www.theopengroup.org/csq/view.mhtml?norationale=1&noreferences=1&RID=Fujitsu%2FSE2%2F10

    Since EILSEQ and EINVAL are rather common but EOVERFLOW is not and since
    EILSEQ and EINVAL are specifically defined to mean the error is other than
    an undersized buffer and no other errno are defined we treat those two
    as meaning hard errors and everything else gets the old behaviour which
    is to keep looping and increasing buffer size until the function succeeds.

    In practice it's impossible to determine before compilation which behaviour
    may be used.  The vswprintf function may have vsnprintf-like behaviour or
    vice-versa.  Behaviour detected on one release can theoretically change
    with an updated release.  Not to mention that configure testing for it
    would require the test to be run on the host system, not the build system
    which makes cross compilation difficult. Therefore, we make no assumptions
    about behaviour and try our best to handle every known case, including the
    case where wxVsnprintf returns a negative number and fails to set errno.

    There is yet one more non-standard implementation and that is our own.
    Fortunately, that can be detected at compile-time.

    On top of all that, ISO C99 explicitly defines snprintf to write a null
    character to the last position of the specified buffer.  That would be at
    at the given buffer size minus 1.  It is supposed to do this even if it
    turns out that the buffer is sized too small.

    Darwin (tested on 10.5) follows the C99 behaviour exactly.

    Glibc 2.6 almost follows the C99 behaviour except vswprintf never sets
    errno even when it fails.  However, it only seems to ever fail due
    to an undersized buffer.
