Should be size_t.

Done.

Nit: Prefer "= base::MakeUnique" to raw new.

Done. Thanks for making base::MakeUnique known to me.

[Peter Kasting, 2016/07/11 02:35:53]

I don't see why this line is needed, since the source string is shorter than the
third arg above and thus wcsncpy() should always append the trailing null
(shouldn't it?).

[WC Leung, 2016/07/18 09:41:35]

I'm super-paranoid here because a missing '\0' causes a security problem instead
of a normal bug. So I don't trust the weak guarantee above. :-)

Here's my concern:
1. the string length may not be calculated correctly (either due to my
carelessness or someone else carelessly modifying my code).
2. wcsncpy() isn't coded by us. Basically we're trusting the code in MSVC, gcc
and clang, and these aren't tested by us.

[Peter Kasting, 2016/07/18 17:34:30]

I'm opposed to adding something to account for (2).  wcsncpy() is part of the
language's library.  We trust that we compile on platforms where the library is
implemented correctly.  Otherwise we'd need checks all over the codebase. 
Readers will likewise assume that the library functions work and wonder why you
have this.

For (1), I don't see a way that you were careless and miscalculated the path
length.  That leaves future code modifiers.  The right way to handle such cases,
if they need be handled at all, is with a DCHECK that there's no problem to be
handled, not by actually handling the (phantom) problem.  But I wouldn't bother
with this either.  After all, if a future modifier might change the path
calculation to be in error, they might remove a DCHECK as well, or do any other
silly thing.  So trying to plan for this makes no sense to me.  We should assume
that people won't introduce bugs into the internals of functions when they're
currently correct and there's no motivating reason why someone would be prone to
make that mistake.

In the meantime, having the termination happen here is really misleading,
because it makes it look like wcsncpy() doesn't null-terminate, which will make
a reader go start checking any other such calls in the codebase.  We don't want
people misled about how library functions work.

[WC Leung, 2016/07/19 08:00:12]

I see. I do buy in the readability part. So the line is removed.
