For example: int size = snprintf ( /*str=*/ NULL , /*size=*/ 0 , "%d: %s" , some_int , some_c_str ); if ( size < 0 ) abort (); int size_with_nul = size + 1 ; char * buf = malloc ( size_with_nul ); if ( buf == NULL ) abort (); int result = snprintf ( /*str=*/ buf , /*size=*/ size_with_nu

Computing on NaN usually gives NaN (it can "contaminate" computation). There are +Inf and -Inf. They are not NaN. There is a negative zero -0.0 which is different to normal zero.
