patch 8.0.0212: buffer for key name may be too small commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/423977d3cebac2be1158b1d11da60fe96db4b750 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sun Jan 22 15:05:12 2017 +0100 patch 8.0.0212: buffer for key name may be too small Problem: The buffer used to store a key name theoreticaly could be too small. (Coverity) Solution: Count all possible modifier characters. Add a check for the length just in case.

" Test if fnameescape is correct for special chars like !
function! Test_fnameescape()
  let fname = 'Xspa ce'
  let status = v:false
  try
    exe "w! " . fnameescape(fname)
    let status = v:true
  endtry
  call assert_true(status, "Space")
  call delete(fname)

  let fname = 'Xemark!'
  let status = v:false
  try
    exe "w! " . fnameescape(fname)
    let status = v:true
  endtry
  call assert_true(status, "ExclamationMark")
  call delete(fname)
endfunction
