Then call them with "buffer == NULL" to get buffer size, next allocate it and call it again ... Hmm... it is only a test module, is it worth enough to try to make it avoid truncation? If some members (quite few members) find truncation, they can simply extend maximize buffer to avoid it when testing. But if we do not fix this bug, when memory overflow, the OS may not stop immediately, then it will/may lead the testers to face various amazing things (which is not quite easy to find root cause). All together, making contribution with efficiency and without negative effect is our goal, so ...
