You may be able to use Gnulib for the cross-platform support of
asprintf and realpath. Gnulib will handle the implementation details
for you. Gnulib also does a good job of listing problem platforms.
Also see https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/asprintf.html
and https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/realpath.html.
