If a memory allocation failed while you were manipulating strings (an operation with very low requirements), you are not likely to obtain enough memory to even display an error message. Frankly, I prefer to be sure that the process will crash properly in extreme cases. And more importantly, not having to handle return codes for every function is much less prone to programming errors; something that is shared by most Glib string utility functions. And programming errors in string manipulations represent an important part of security bugs. -- .''`.
