Hi,
Where can I find the source for printf ?

Hi John,
Your best bet is to download libc and grab the source from there.
However, I'm willing to bet it's fairly complex and not so trivial.

Whose version of printf()?

You can find a rudimentary implementation on p156 of
K&R2. Admittedly it calls the real printf to do much of the
work, but there's enough there to give you the essence.
Or you could get a copy of the GNU library source.
Here's the source provided by Microsoft:
int __cdecl printf (
const char *format,
...
)
/*
* stdout 'PRINT', 'F'ormatted
*/
{
va_list arglist;
int buffing;
int retval;
va_start(arglis t, format);
_ASSERTE(format != NULL);
_lock_str2(1, stdout);
buffing = _stbuf(stdout);
retval = _output(stdout, format,arglist) ;
_ftbuf(buffing, stdout);
_unlock_str2(1, stdout);
return(retval);
}
Not much help, is it?

That depends on what you need it for. If you want the source for _a_
version of printf(), at least one, probably several, are available on
the web. Of course, they're likely to be pretty much implementation-
specific, so they might be useless with your compiler. If you want the
source for _your_ version of printf(), you'll have to ask your vendor.

Somewhat related to the FAQ:
18.13: Where can I find the sources of the standard C libraries?
A: The GNU project has a complete implementation at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. Another source (though not
public domain) is _The Standard C Library_, by P.J. Plauger (see
the Bibliography). See also questions 18.9b, 18.15c, and 18.16.
Many C compilers come with the runtime source for their own
implementation of the standard C libraries.

I wrote a simple implementation that should be reasonably
portable for Pintos, my instructional operating system. It does
not support floating-point formatting, it has a few limitations
that are probably not entirely standard compliant, and its code
is not entirely comp.lang.c compliant. Given those constraints,
you are welcome to take a look at it. It is in file
pintos/src/lib/stdio.c in the tar archive available at http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/.../pintos.tar.gz

Hi,
'C' says \ is the escape character to be used when characters are
to be interpreted in an uncommon sense, e.g. \t usage in printf(),
but for printing % through printf(), i have read that %% should be used.
Wouldn't it have been better (from design perspective) if the same
escape character had been used in this case too.
Forgive me for posting without verfying things with any standard
compiler, i don't have the means for now.

Hi, c.l.cs
I noticed that someone like add (void) before the printf call,
like: (void) printf("Timeout\n"); while the others does't. So
can someone tell me whether there any gains in adding
(void) to printf.
Thanks,
Whatluo.

I am working on a Memory Footprint Reduction project. I came across an
idea to disable all printf statements so that less memory is required.
In addition, when there is no single printf statement, the printf
library will not be linked, so it further reduces the executable size.
Is there an easy way to disable printf in a large project? In my
project, we have thousands of C & C++ files. They don't have a common
included common header. ...

I read in many places that the string to be outputted by printf()

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
