Hi,

first of all, thanks for putting work into that - I like the changes in
general. Have a few comments inline below.

The vsprintf() we're wrapping here returns the number of bytes written,
which is useful imho. What about returning >= 0 bytes for success and -1
for error (alloc fail) ?

Same, if we decide to return the bytes in blobmsg_vprintf() we need to
adjust the return type here.

Can we move the declarations to the top of the function and avoid "new"
as it is a C++ reserved word? You could call them "buf" and "buf_len" or
"cpy" and "cpy_len" maybe.

Did you forget to assign "ret" to "s.buf" here?

The "%m" format is a glibc extension, I'd favor an explicit "%s" +
strerror(errno) here just to avoid potential portability hassle.

Can we avoid "new" here and use "cpy" or "copy" instead?

A "return luaL_error(L, "Out of memory");" might be slightly more
appropriate here.
