Subject: [PATCH v4 next 02/23] tools/nolibc/printf: Move snprintf length check to callback
Date: Mon,  2 Mar 2026 10:17:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302101815.3043-3-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260302101815.3043-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Move output truncation to the snprintf() callback.
This simplifies the main code and fixes truncation of padded fields.

Add a zero length callback to 'finalise' the buffer rather than
doing it in snprintf() itself.

Fixes e90ce42e81381 ("tools/nolibc: implement width padding in printf()")
Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
---

For v4:
- Avoid memcpy(ptr, NULL, 0)

For v3:
- Patch 2 in v2, patch 1 in v1.
- Note that it fixes e90ce42e81381.
- Update comments (again).
- Rename size => space in snprintf 'state.
- Copy state->space to a local rather than relying on the compiler
  doing CSE, changes the code slightly for x86 (but not the size).
- Unconditionally write a '\0' to terminate the old data before
  overwriting it with new data.
  Saves a few bytes of object code.
