Subject: [PATCH v2 next 07/11] tools/nolibc/printf: Add support for conversion flags "#- +" and format "%X"
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2026 19:11:17 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260206191121.3602-8-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>

Add support for all the normal flag chacacters except '0' (zero pad).
  '-' left alignment.
  '+' and ' ' Sign characters for non-negative numbers.
  '#' adds 0x to hex numbers.
Partially support "%X", outputs lower case a..f the same as "%x".

Move the "%s" code in with the numeric formats to save a va_arg() call.

Prepend the sign (or "0x") after conversion to ascii and use the length
returned by u64toh_r() and u64toa_r().
Both needed for precision and zero-padding in the next patch.

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

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).
