| Poor Man's snprintf() |

Below is a quick and dirty way to get a snprintf() method without having to write all the parsing code. It leverages a CCS extension to work. It makes use of macros, so always be aware of the dangers there.

/******************************************************************************
* Name: snprintf.h
* Auth: Jeremiah
* Desc: This file contains a poor man's implementation of snprintf() for the
* CCS compiler. It is not meant to be as efficient as a homemade
* snprintf() method. It leverages the putc() substitution in printf(),
* which is a CCS extension.
*
* FUNCTIONS:
* snprintf()
*
* Compiled with PCWHD v5.025
*
* History:
* 03/12/2015 - JHB - Creation

// NAME: snprintf()
// DESC: Composes a string with the same text that would be printed if fmt
// was used on printf, but instead of being printed, the content is
// stored as a string in the buffer pointed by buf (taking max as the
// maximum buffer capacity to fill).
// IN: buf = Pointer to a buffer where the resulting string is stored
// max = Maximum number of bytes to be used in the buffer. The
// generated string has a length of max-1, leaving space for a
// null character. Expects an unsigned int16 > 0.
// fmt = CString that contains a format that follows the same format
// in printf (see printf for details). This must be a constant
// string (not a variable).
// ... = List of parameters used as inputs to the format string.
// OUT: The number of characters that would have been written if max was
// large enough to hold them.
// NOTE: Does not return a negative value for format errors. However the
// CCS compiler reports format errors at compile time.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

printf(snprintf_putc,fmt,__VA_ARGS__), \

//Macros that use a comma separated list of statements return the final
//statement as if it were a function return value. Also note that
//semicolons are not needed using this method (they are implied)

}

//if maximum buffer size was never reached, then null terminate

Test Code (supply your own FUSES, etc.):
| Code: |
#case
#include "pic.h" //has #device, #FUSES, #use delay(), #use rs232()
#include "snprintf.h"
void main(void){
char buffer[15] = {
'z','z','z','z','z',
'z','z','z','z','z',
'z','z','z','z','\0'
};
unsigned int16 i;
unsigned int16 val=255;
printf("\r\n*********Program Start*********\r\n");
//Test empty input string
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
//Test being under the max
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello");
//show remaining buffer just for this one to verify algorithm isn't
//overwriting the entire buffer.
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s %s\r\n", sizeof(buffer),
val,
buffer,
&buffer[val+1]);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello ");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 7");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 78");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789A");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789AB");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789ABC");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789ABCD");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789ABCDE");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
val = snprintf(buffer,sizeof(buffer),"Hello 789ABCDEF");
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",sizeof(buffer),val,buffer);
//Test exceeding the max. First loop should print out results from
//previous snprintf() call since buffer max is 0
for(i=0; i<=sizeof(buffer); i++){
val = snprintf(buffer,i,"Hello %d ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP",78);
printf("BUFFER(%03u,%03u): %s\r\n",i,val,buffer);
}
while(TRUE);
