sys = malloc(strlen(editorName) + strlen(fname) + 10 + 1);
if (!sys)
return false;
sprintf(sys, "exec '%s' '%s'", editorName, fname);
(note the added quotes to provide a little protection against spaces
and such). Then it's perfectly obvious what the calculation is doing.
I don't care about wasting 20-some bytes, but confusing readers of the
code is worth avoiding.
