I don't see how. By checking a length of string we be sure, that the
result would have a non-arbitrary length.

This one I agree with, means in the above example we may do

return sprintf(...);

if callers recognize just a sign, or

len = sprintf(...);
if (len < 0)
return len; // -1? 0?

return 1;

otherwise.
