Subject: [musl] Integer only print functions support in MUSL
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2024 17:29:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DM5PR02MB36398389F609351B6E37F0E3F0C02@DM5PR02MB3639.namprd02.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi,

On the subject line topic, is there a plan for integer only print functions support in MUSL upstream?

The newlib seems to support the same since 2004 [1] and one immediate scenario using this capability is assert function [2] in the C library itself which needs to print only the non-float types.

Applications that use integer only print functions can benefit from this capability in terms of reduced code size by avoiding floating point support implementation in the linked print functions.

I tried a quick search on the mailing list but couldn't find any previous discussions on this topic.
Would it make sense to have the similar support in MUSL as well? Would the community be open to accept patches supporting integer only print functions?

Regards,
Ram
