This looks better, though minor comments.

Indeed, 500 would be nicer to be defined as a constant (via preprocessor ma=
cro).

Please, split declaration and assignment...

Would it even possible to get a negative number here?
Same for any other number than slightly bigger than 36.

You have above a check and here is the matter of either sudden
replacement of the string during the operation or how snprintf is
broken itself.
Do you have a case in mind which can bring to the above conditions?

On top of that you have an ordinary case here and in similar ones we
don't care about buffer size at all (perhaps BUILD_BUG_ON() what is
needed here).

So, what about simple

{
 DEF_FIELD_ADDR(...);
 size_t len;

 len =3D strlen(*guid_string);
 if (len !=3D ...) {
  ...
 }
sprintf(...);
return 1;
}

?
