Re: "printf" bloated, Ok. But how to print then?

In Fri, 25 Sep 2009, WARC cum veritate scripsit :

No, the diet wrapper warns but does not stop compiling. You get a warning 
about approx. 7 KB of bloat code but it will compile.
If you didn't get an object file or executable then there was a "real" 
error of some different kind.

But Laurent Bercot did already give you hints how to avoid printf and 
stdio-code.

If you need 1 or 2 write()-calls then use them directly.
If you need some more you should maybe use your own "string-buffer" to 
"cat" the single writes and at last write the whole buffer.
If you need many write()-calls then use the buffer-code availabe from DJB, 
Fefe or skarnet.

Start with it and don't be frightened. Maybe it's a long way but you can't 
lose! ;-)
