full featured sprintf() formatter?

[Duggle]

I need to display floating point variables as I am experimenting with sensors of different kinds.

I find sprintf() is not formatting float types.

Is there a switch somewhere that controls the compile of stdio.h functions to include a full featured string formatter library?

Also is floating point math fully supported by default?

thanks

Floating point math is fully supported (libm is included)

But you don't really want to use the original printf() routine - it requires liba for functions like _read, _write, _sbrk, etc... and as far as I remember, later it will ask for libos as well.

Thats unnecessary overhead (+ some implementation effort for the missing functions).

If you want to try to get it running: disable all functions in http://svnmios.midibox.org/filedetails.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fmios32%2Fcommon%2Fprintf-stdarg.c

Alternatively add the code for %f to the print() replacement

Or just do the conversion in your application, e.g.:

MIOS32_MIDI_SendDebugMessage("%d.%03d\n", (int)value, (int)(1000*value)%1000);

[/code]

Works well, thanks TK!

Oh, and if negative numbers are possible use:

MIOS32_MIDI_SendDebugMessage("%d.%03d\n", (int)value, abs((int)(1000*value)%1000));

otherwise you get a negative symbol appearing in the fraction part.
