Subject: [PATCH v5 next 11/17] tools/nolibc/printf: Prepend sign to converted number
Date: Sun, 8 Mar 2026 11:37:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260308113742.12649-12-david.laight.linux@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260308113742.12649-1-david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>
Instead of appending the converted number to the sign, convert first
and then prepend the sign (or "0x").
Use the length returned by u64toh_r() instead of calling strlen().
Needed so that zero padding can be inserted between the sign and digits
in an upcoming patch.
Acked-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>

v5:
- Updated comments w.r.t sign_prefix
Changes for v4:
- Split from the patch that supported modifiers " +#".
