Subject: [PATCH next 05/12] tools/nolibc/printf: Simplify __nolibc_printf()
Date: Tue,  3 Feb 2026 10:29:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203103000.20206-6-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203103000.20206-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Move the check for the length modifiers into the format processing
between the field width and conversion specifier.
This lets the loop be simplified and a 'fast scan' for a format start
used.

If an error is detected (eg an invalid conversion specifier) then
copy the invalid format to the output buffer.

Reduces code size by about 10% on x86-64.
