Commit Message

Jozef Lawrynowicz Oct. 24, 2019, 8:56 p.m. UTC 
I added support for reduced code size printf and puts functions to Newlib for
MSP430 a while ago [1]. By removing support for reentrancy, streams and
buffering we can greatly reduce code size, which is always often a limitation
when using printf on microcontrollers.

This patch adds an interface to enable these reduced code size implementations
from GCC by using the -mtiny-printf option. The tiny printf and puts
implementations require GCC to be configured with
--enable-newlib-nano-formatted-io, so there are some modifications to configure
scripts to support the checking of that.

-mtiny-printf is merely an alias for passing "--wrap printf --wrap puts" to the
linker.
This will replace references to "printf" and "puts" in user
code with "__wrap_printf" and "__wrap_puts" respectively.
If there is no implementation of these __wrap* functions in user code,
these "tiny" printf and puts implementations will be linked into the
final executable.

The wrapping mechanism is supposed to be invisible to the user since even if
they are unaware of the "tiny" implementation, and implement their own 
__wrap_printf and __wrap_puts, their own implementation will be automatically
chosen over the "tiny" printf and puts from the library.

Successfully regtested on trunk by comparing results with -mtiny-printf with a
set of testresults without the option.
The new test "gcc.target/msp430/tiny-printf.c" verifies the option behaves as
expected when GCC is configured with and without
--enable-newlib-nano-formatted-io.

Ok to apply?
