Subject: [PATCH v2 next 08/11] tools/nolibc/printf: Add support for zero padding and field precision
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@...il.com>
Include support for variable field widths (eg "%*.*d") and the special
processing required for zero especially when the precision is 0.
Zero padding is limited to 30 zero characters.
This is wider than the largest numeric field so shouldn't be a problem.
When processing "%#01x" subtracting the number of 'sign' characters
from the field width generates a negative precision.
Fix by making all the variables 'signed int'.
This also makes the code smaller.
The space padding can then optimised as well (saves another 60 bytes of
code).
All the standard printf formats are now supported except octal
and floating point.
Signed-off-by: David Laight <david.laight.linux@...il.com>

Changes for v2:
- These changes were previously in patch 9.
However you need to apply the old patch 10 to get anything like
the same source. The files then more of less match apart from 'c'
being renamed 'ch' and the 'magic' #defines.
