Since this memory will be filled soon below, I feel that there is

negative num according to ISO C99, so I feel that no judgment is
needed here.

No functional change intended.
Ah, good catch. I didn't notice that snprintf() doesn't return
error code. (I confirmed that the linux internal snprintf() also
doesn't return the error code)

Thank you!
