[PATCH v4 next 13/23] tools/nolibc/printf: Use goto and reduce indentation
Posted by david.laight.linux@gmail.com 1 month, 1 week ago
From: David Laight <david.laight.linux@gmail.com>

Upcoming changes will need to use goto to jump to the code that
outputs characters.
Use 'goto do_output' to output a known number of characters.
Use 'goto do_strlen_output' to output a '\0' terminated string.

Removes a level of indentation from the format processing code.

For v4:
- Output a single '%' from the format string.

New patch for v3.
Makes the final code look better and there is less to change if done early.

Nice! I, too, prefer this more explicit way of transitionning between
states. For others, the patch is best reviewed with "git show -b" or
"git diff -b" after applying it (67 lines instead of 200).

David, when changing code indent like this, I often like to suggest
doing this in the commit messages. I'm saying this in case there's
a further respin.
