Subject: [PATCH v3 next 13/17] tools/nolibc/printf: Add support for conversion flags
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 10:17:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260223101735.2922-14-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260223101735.2922-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

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

Add support for:
  '+' and ' ' Sign characters for non-negative numbers.
  '#' adds 0x to hex numbers.
  outputting "(nil)" for NULL pointers.

Special code for 0 is needed because "%#x" needs to generate "0" not "0x0".

The code is changed to use the length returned by u64toh_r() and
prepend the sign (or "0x") after conversion to reduce the changes for
the next patch that inserts zero padding between the sign and digits.

Add tests for "%#x", "% d", "%+d" and passing NULL to "%p".

Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Changes for v3:
- Was patch 7 in v2.
- Changes for left alignment moved to the next patch.
- Rename 'sign' 'sign_prefix'.
- Include tests 

Changes for v2:         
- Add support for left justifying fields (removed from patch 6).
- Merge in the changes from the old patch 8.
- Add support for "%#x" (formally part of patch 9).
