[Q/BUG] ets_printf("\r") gives me never only \r (0x0D )

[rudi ;-)]

hi guys

i remember we have this theme many times.

i want simple formated print out

Code: Select all

while (1) ets_printf("VAL: %d\r",val);

so the terminal is allways in one line and prints the line in the same line cause i use only "\r" for the format


this was changed / removed:

Code: Select all

Component config -> ESP32-specific config ->  Standard-out output adds carriage return before newline

i know we can setup in menuconfig the uart now on other way..

uart_out.jpg (36.35 KiB) Viewed 4327 times

but i get not the result which i need.

here is my setup and code and result:

Code: Select all

Menuconfig		CODE			Result
------------------------------------------------------
CR			\n			\r\n
CR			\r			----
CR			---			----

LF			\n			\r\n
LF			\r			----
LF			---			----

CRLF			\n			\r\n
CRLF			\r			----
CRLF			\r\n			\r\n

i never get only \r or only \n

the declaration ets_printf is only in the header available, the definitation is in the lib

my workaround for this is, to print out without any CR / LF
and send a sign behind

Code: Select all

while (1) {
ets_printf("VAL: %d",val);
uart_tx_one_char('\r');
}

this is not a good solution if you use time criticals and the sendbuffer is splitted.

why append ets_printf chars to the output what we not set?
why delete ets_printf chars from the outgoing what we want send?

Unfortunately, ets_printf adds an additional \r for each \n which is not send by user.

this topic has often annoyed me hours, days and weeks in the begin
because the slave is waiting for certain character encoding
but never gets

please, do not delete in the bin_blob_lib chars what we want send.
this is - why i am not a friend to the bin_blob_libs what we can not edit or controll in open soucre.

( annoy me again about it )

ets_printf is a ROM function so it can't be changed at compile time

That is technically true, but it doesn't mean you can't change its behaviour. From what I can see here (but the code I have here is not exactly the same as the ESP32 version, so take with a grain of salt.) ets_printf uses a callback function to actually output characters, and by default it is set to ets_write_char_uart, which does \n->\r\n-conversion. However, you can change this using the ets_install_putc1 function. From what I can see here, doing ets_install_putc1(uart_tx_one_char); should bypass the conversion logic and do what you want.

jeroen, i read the header notice but did not register this to my brain .
i will try it. txs!
