I think the failed test is just a fluke, what do you think? |
Unfortunately not. Somehow the if condition caused printf to be used, which fails with the small stacks in those tests. I've changed |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could you explain to me why this is needed? I fail to understand the reason on my own. E.g. if I remove the guarded code, the unit test still pass for native. What am I misunderstanding?

Contribution description
Currently, fmt's
print()is using libc'sfwrite()in order to mitigate bothlibc and fmt output clashing wrt. libc stdio buffers. That causes
print()touse quite a bit more stack, we had to remove the lower stack case in
print_stack_usage_metrics().This PR changes
print()to usefflush();stdio_write()instead, bypassinga lot of libc's FILE machinery.
A quick test on nrf52840dk shows that
print_stack_usage_metrics()on anotherwise empty thread uses 124b stack without the
fflush(), 160b with thefflush()(this PR's state). So another commit re-adds theMIN_SIZEfmtcase.
