/************************************************************************
The printf-like implementation in this file is based on the one found
in the sqlite3 distribution is in the Public Domain.

This copy was forked for use with the clob API in Feb 2008 by Stephan
Beal (http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/) and modified to send
its output to arbitrary targets via a callback mechanism. Also
refactored the %X specifier handlers a bit to make adding/removing
specific handlers easier.

All code in this file is released into the Public Domain.

The printf implementation (fsl_appendfv()) is pretty easy to extend
(e.g. adding or removing %-specifiers for fsl_appendfv()) if you're
willing to poke around a bit and see how the specifiers are declared
and dispatched. For an example, grep for 'etSTRING' and follow it
through the process of declaration to implementation.

See below for several FSLPRINTF_OMIT_xxx macros which can be set to
remove certain features/extensions.

/**
   fsl_appendf_spec_handler is an almost-generic interface for farming
   work out of fsl_appendfv()'s code into external functions.  It doesn't
   actually save much (if any) overall code, but it makes the fsl_appendfv()
   code more manageable.


   REQUIREMENTS of implementations:

   - Expects an implementation-specific vargp pointer.
   fsl_appendfv() passes a pointer to the converted value of
   an entry from the format va_list. If it passes a type
   other than the expected one, undefined results.

   - If it calls pf then it must return the return value
   from that function.

   - If it calls pf it must do: pf( pfArg, D, N ), where D is
   the data to export and N is the number of bytes to export.
   It may call pf() an arbitrary number of times

   - If pf() successfully is called, the return value must be the
   accumulated totals of its return value(s), plus (possibly, but
   unlikely) an imnplementation-specific amount.

   - If it does not call pf() then it must return 0 (success)
   or a negative number (an error) or do all of the export
   processing itself and return the number of bytes exported.


   SIGNIFICANT LIMITATIONS:

   - Has no way of iterating over the format string, so handling
   precisions and such here can't work too well. (Nevermind:
   precision/justification is handled in fsl_appendfv().)

/*
  The root printf program.  All variations call this core.  It
  implements most of the common printf behaviours plus (optionally)
  some extended ones.

  INPUTS:

  pfAppend : The is a fsl_appendf_f function which is responsible
  for accumulating the output. If pfAppend returns a negative integer
  then processing stops immediately.

  pfAppendArg : is ignored by this function but passed as the first
  argument to pfAppend. pfAppend will presumably use it as a data
  store for accumulating its string.

  fmt : This is the format string, as in the usual printf().

  ap : This is a pointer to a list of arguments.  Same as in
  vprintf() and friends.

  OUTPUTS:

  The return value is the total number of characters sent to the
  function "func".  Returns -1 on a error.

  Note that the order in which automatic variables are declared below
  seems to make a big difference in determining how fast this beast
  will run.

  Much of this code dates back to the early 1980's, supposedly.

  Known change history (most historic info has been lost):

  10 Feb 2008 by Stephan Beal: refactored to remove the 'useExtended'
  flag (which is now always on). Added the fsl_appendf_f typedef to
  make this function generic enough to drop into other source trees
  without much work.

  31 Oct 2008 by Stephan Beal: refactored the et_info lookup to be
  constant-time instead of linear.
