[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 3/3] net: tap: replace snprintf with g_strdup_printf calls

[P J P]

From: Prasad J Pandit <address@hidden>

When invoking qemu-bridge-helper in 'net_bridge_run_helper',
instead of using fixed sized buffers, use dynamically allocated
ones initialised and returned by g_strdup_printf().
