printf VS nanoprintf

Compare printf vs nanoprintf and see what are their differences.

printf

Tiny, fast(ish), self-contained, fully loaded printf, sprinf etc. implementation; particularly useful in embedded systems. (by eyalroz)

  • MISRA C
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Nov 2023
    From my experience, maintaining a standalone/embedded printf library - MISRA is a combination of two things: Common-sense rules, and pain-in-the-ass rules. Example of the latter: Avoiding implementation-defined types like `int` in places where my code doesn't care about what sizeof(int) is.

    I was able to accommodate most (?) of the MISRA rules (https://github.com/eyalroz/printf/issues/77), but mine is just a small library, so I don't know how restrictive they would be for a larger codebase.

    Do you know such people who work on large software systems, as opposed to, say, micro-controller firmware, or kernel drivers and such?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing printf and nanoprintf you can also consider the following projects:

gx - A Go->C++transpiler meant for data-oriented gameplay and application programming especially for WebAssembly. Using this mostly in the context of specific personal projects and heavily focusing the feature set on those. Used in my Raylib gamejam project: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k -- also being used to develop a private longer term game project and a note-taking app.

printf - Tiny, fast, non-dependent and fully loaded printf implementation for embedded systems. Extensive test suite passing.

callback_printf - callback_printf allows the implementation of portable sprintf, snprintf, vsprintf and vsnprintf like output functions. The code includes wrappers for those functions. It supports all formats of the C 11 standard. wchar_t arguments and strings are printed as UTF-8. It's pretty fast, threadsafe and has no dependencies to other libraries.

defmt - Efficient, deferred formatting for logging on embedded systems

cppfront - A personal experimental C++ Syntax 2 -> Syntax 1 compiler

doomgeneric - Easily portable doom

lfbb - A Lock Free Bipartite Buffer Library written in standard C11

jakt - The Jakt Programming Language

esp-idf - Espressif IoT Development Framework. Official development framework for Espressif SoCs.

pwned - Simple C++ code for simple tasks
