Subject: [PATCH v2 next 05/11] tools/nolibc/printf: Simplify __nolibc_printf()
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 19:11:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206191121.3602-6-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>
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.
