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(arglist, 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

Come to think of it, I can even provide a direct link: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs140/...rc/lib/stdio.c
