cunescape() sets output on success, so initialization is not necessary. There was no comment, but I think they may have been added because the compiler wasn't convinced that the return value is non-negative on success. It could have been confused by the int return type on escape*(), which was changed by the one of preceeding commits to ssize_t, or by the length calculation, so add an assert to help the compiler. For some reason coverity thinks the output can be leaked here (CID #1458111). I don't see how.
