Why not "text:%#lx" as already used in this string? It's equivalent
to "0x%lx".

Well, I don't know the reasoning in this case, but I'd like to note that
those are not strictly equivalent. Personally I find the formatting of 0
annoying enough to avoid %#x for any value which may be 0. It's
especially bad if you try to line up things by adding leading zeros.

I would expect these to produce the same result, but they don't:

printf("0x%02hhx\n", 0);
printf("%#04hhx\n", 0);

Ending up with a 4 digit output when you expect 2 is very confusing. It
doesn't matter that 0 is 0 in any case. Why doesn't the same happen to
1 then? This is just inconsistent behaviour, and I see no valid excuse
for it.

IMHO the single format character saved isn't worth this at all. I'll
continue using 0x%x

Yep, I found that 0x%lx produced the same output as %p. If you'd rather
I use something else instead, I'm happy to update the patch.

Thanks,

Don't use a standalone gcc compiled program to
determine what the kernel outputs.

lib/vsprintf.c does not output the same. (32 bit)

The kernel output is;

printk("0x%lx\n", 0x100ul) 0x100
printk("%p\n", (void *)0x100ul) 00000100
printk("%#p\n", (void *)0x100ul) 0x00000100

The last one isn't used at all in kernel source. (gcc complains)
It's always "0x%p"

That's a very good point. Sorry for mixing this up. You are of course
right. The kernel does everything correctly, so there is no reason not
to use %#x

I was talking about using "%#lx", not "%#p". I don't see it in your
example.

"0x%lx" and "%#lx" produce the same output in the kernel.

The latter isn't used very often though.
I expect most coders don't know it exists/works.

$ git grep -E "0x%l{0,2}x" | wc -l
12542
$ git grep -E "%#l{0,2}x" | wc -l
1737

(some false positives there of course)

Also, some might expect that "%#08lx", is 10 chars wide,
but it's only 8, so maybe "0x%08lx" is better used.

The "%#08lx" width defect seems pretty common:

$ git grep -E -i "%#0(8|16)l{0,2}x" | wc -l
253

It's already used in the same format string in this case. That's why
I suggested
not to deviate from the existing code.

I've decided that we should just leave this alone for now, because
frankly the choice is arbitrary.
