I guess that (not good) behaviour is not changed.

BTW, isn't the whole stuff slightly over-engineered? Why is "binary compatibility" needed (and with what?).
Wouldn't it be easier in terms of compatibility, readability and doxygenability to define simple C structure?

struct AVBPrint {
    char *str;         /**< string so far */
    unsigned len;      /**< length so far */
    unsigned size;     /**< allocated memory */
    unsigned size_max; /**< maximum allocated memory */
    char reserved_internal_buffer[1024];
};
