From e26c12c777118d65aeb97eb1651338e7decae80e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 16:17:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/vsprintf.c: reduce stack use in number() At least since the initial git commit, when base was passed as a separate parameter, number() has only been called with bases 8, 10 and 16. I'm guessing that 66 was to accommodate 64 0/1, a sign and a '\0', but the buffer is only used for the actual digits. Octal digits carry 3 bits of information, so 24 is enough. Spell that 3*sizeof(num) so one less place needs to be changed should long long ever be 128 bits. Also remove the commented-out code that would handle an arbitrary base.
