// In debug builds, we use RAW_CHECK() to print useful error messages, if
// SafeSPrintf() is called with broken arguments.
// As our contract promises that SafeSPrintf() can be called from any
// restricted run-time context, it is not actually safe to call logging
// functions from it; and we only ever do so for debug builds and hope for the
// best. We should _never_ call any logging function other than RAW_CHECK(),
// and we should _never_ include any logging code that is active in production
// builds. Most notably, we should not include these logging functions in
// unofficial release builds, even though those builds would otherwise have
// DCHECKS() enabled.
// In other words; please do not remove the #ifdef around this #include.
// Instead, in production builds we opt for returning a degraded result,
// whenever an error is encountered.
// E.g. The broken function call
//        SafeSPrintf("errno = %d (%x)", errno, strerror(errno))
//      will print something like
//        errno = 13, (%x)
//      instead of
//        errno = 13 (Access denied)
//      In most of the anticipated use cases, that's probably the preferred
//      behavior.

// The code in this file is extremely careful to be async-signal-safe.
//
// Most obviously, we avoid calling any code that could dynamically allocate
// memory. Doing so would almost certainly result in bugs and dead-locks.
// We also avoid calling any other STL functions that could have unintended
// side-effects involving memory allocation or access to other shared
// resources.
//
// But on top of that, we also avoid calling other library functions, as many
// of them have the side-effect of calling getenv() (in order to deal with
// localization) or accessing errno. The latter sounds benign, but there are
// several execution contexts where it isn't even possible to safely read let
// alone write errno.
//
// The stated design goal of the SafeSPrintf() function is that it can be
// called from any context that can safely call C or C++ code (i.e. anything
// that doesn't require assembly code).
