[PATCH 1/4] vsprintf: Recursive vsnprintf: Add "%pV", struct va_format
in [Kernel]
|
Prev: [PATCH 0/4] Introduce and use printk pointer extension %pV
Next: [PATCH 3/4] netdevice.h net/core/dev.c: Convert netdev_<level> logging macros to functions
From: Joe Perches on 27 Jun 2010 07:10 Add the ability to print a format and va_list from a structure pointer Allows __dev_printk to be implemented as a single printk while minimizing string space duplication. %pV should not be used without some mechanism to verify the format and argument use ala __attribute__(format (printf(...))).
