[PATCH v4 next 23/23] selftests/nolibc: Use printf variable field widths and precisions
From: david . laight . linux
Date: Mon Mar 02 2026 - 05:21:09 EST
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@xxxxxxxxx>
Now that printf supports '*' for field widths and precisions
then can be used to simplify the test output.
- aligning the "[OK]" strings.
- reporting the expected sprintf() output when there is a mismatch.
Acked-by: Willy Tarreau <w@xxxxxx>
