I just made a small equivalent to the GNU asprintf function (since I suppose it's not available on all system supported by mplayer) in order to use it in a few places instead of fixed size buffers like BUFLENGTH in some vo (jpeg, png, …) and maybe a few other PATH_MAX we were speaking a while ago.
The traditional place for this is the osdep/ directory. You should also check in configure for its presence.
I would have done it in case the function were called "asprintf", and as pointed out on IRC, it would need a configure test, conditionally compilation, etc. which is a small burden.
It's easy enough to do. If you need help, ask.
I have some concerns that this might also cause some issues when trying to move to std=c99.
What kind of issue?
Sorry for the late reply. What I would expect might happen is that in C99 mode asprintf is not available (and we certainly don't want to have yet another thing that requires _GNU_SOURCE everywhere), so configure detection will fail. However linking will fail as well, since then asprintf is defined both in the libc and in MPlayer.
