+   actual implementation is specific to the multibyte and wide
+   variants.
+
+   If the flush fails, Xprintf_buffer_mark_failed (BUF) must be
+   called, and BUF->write_ptr and BUF->write_end can be left
+   unchanged.
+
+   The function must not do anything if failure has already occurred,
+   that is, if BUF->mode == Xprintf (buffer_mode_failed).
+
+   The framework implicitly invokes flush with BUF->write_ptr ==
+   BUF->write_end only.  (This is particularly relevant to the
+   __sprintf_chk flush, which just calls __chk_fail.)  But in some
+   cases, Xprintf_buffer_flush may be called explicitly (when

+   completely different buffer here.  If the buffer is moved, it may
+   be necessary to updated BUF->write_base and BUF->written from the
+   flush function as well.
+
+   Note that when chaining buffers, in the flush function for the
+   outer buffer (to which data is written first), it is necessary to
+   check for BUF->next->failed (for the inner buffer) and set
+   BUF->base.failed to true (for the outer buffer).  This should come
+   towards the end of the outer flush function.  Usually, there is
+   also some unwrapping step afterwards; it has to check the outer
