Subject: [PATCH v2 next 01/11] tools/nolibc/printf: Change variable used for format chars from 'c' to 'ch'
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2026 19:11:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206191121.3602-2-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>

This makes the code slightly easier to read because the variable
stands out from the single character literals (especially 'c').

The following patches pretty much rewrite the function so the
churn is limited.

New patch for v2.
