[PATCH v3 11/19] vsprintf: add new `%pA` format specifier

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds a format specifier `%pA` to `vsprintf` which formats
a pointer as `core::fmt::Arguments`. Doing so allows us to directly
format to the internal buffer of `printf`, so we do not have to use
a temporary buffer on the stack to pre-assemble the message on
the Rust side.

This specifier is intended only to be used from Rust and not for C, so
`checkpatch.pl` is intentionally unchanged to catch any misuse.
