Subject: string-util: when ellipsizing to a length if (size_t) -1, become a NOP
X-Git-Tag: v236~235^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ddbc931986bac931a07a1aeb507a1a30153ac7ed;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fsystemd.git

string-util: when ellipsizing to a length if (size_t) -1, become a NOP

Let's say that (size_t) -1 (i.e. SIZE_T_MAX) is equivalent to
"unbounded" ellipsation, i.e. ellipsation as NOP. In which case the
relevant functions become little more than strdup()/strndup().

This is useful to simplify caller code in case we want to turn off
ellipsation in certain code paths with minimal caller-side handling for
this.
