I'm not entirely sure that snprintf() can actually return a negative value.

Every implementation (except the microsoft one) also always writes a '\0'
even when the buffer is too short.

A simple wrapper that lets you append output and detect overflow is:
ret = vsnprintf(buf, len, ...);
if (ret < 0)
/* just in case */
return 0;
return ret > len ? len : ret;

So on overflow the sum of the lengths is equal to the buffer size
(ie includes the terminating '\0'.
