[PATCH] tiny-printf: Handle formatting of %p with an extra Kconfig

Christoph Niedermaier cniedermaier at dh-electronics.com
Mon Apr 7 10:56:14 CEST 2025


The formatting with %pa / %pap behaves like %x, which results in an
incorrect value being output. To improve this, a new fine-tuning
Kconfig XPL_USE_TINY_PRINTF_POINTER_SUPPORT for pointer formatting
has been added. If it is enabled, the output of %pa / %pap should
be correct, and if it is disabled, the pointer formatting is
completely unsupported. In addition to indicate unsupported formatting,
'?' will be output. This allows enabling pointer formatting only
when needed. For SPL_NET and NET_LWIP it is selected by default.
Then it also supports the formatting with %pm, %pM and %pI4.
