Subject: [PATCH v2 next 09/11] selftests/nolibc: Improve reporting of vfprintf() errors
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:11:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206191121.3602-10-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260206191121.3602-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Check the string matches before checking the returned length.
Only print the string once when it matches.
Normally the length is that of the expected string, make it easier
to write tests by treating a length of zero as being that of the
expected output.
Additionally check that nothing beyond the end is written.
This also correctly returns 1 (the number of errors) when strcmp()
fails rather than the return value from strncmp() which is the
signed difference between the mismatching characters.
