Re: [PATCH] diesys calls die and also reports strerror(errno)

Jeff King [off-list ref] writes:

Should we be calling malloc here? One of the possible error conditions
is that we're out of memory (though xmalloc itself just uses "die"). I
don't think there is a good reason not to use a reasonably-sized static
buffer, which should increase robustness (report() is already using a
1024-character buffer, so any message would be truncated there anyway).

Yup, and at that point, tacking strerror value while expanding possible %
becomes even easier.
