Subject: [PATCH next 06/12] tools/nolibc/printf: Add support for left alignment and %[tzLq]d"
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 10:29:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203103000.20206-7-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>
Use a single 'flags' variable to hold both format flags and length modifiers.
Use (1u << (c & 31)) for the flag bits to reduce code complexity.
Add support for left justifying fields.
Add support for length modifiers 't' and 'z' (both long) and 'q' and 'L'
(both long long).
Unconditionall generate the signed values (for %d) to remove a second
set of checks for the size.
Use 'signed int' for the lengths to make the pad test simpler.
