Comparison with newlib-nano? #142

Open noahp opened 4 years ago

noahp commented 4 years ago

newlib and newlib-nano is bundled with the gcc-arm embedded toolchain, and seems to provide a pretty suitable and full-featured libc (vprintf and friends can leave a little to be desired though :grimacing: ). It would be interesting to see a comparison of some common use cases between this libc and the newlib-nano one, w.r.t. code/memory consumption or features!

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree this kind of comparison would be useful. I'm currently slammed this work, so it will be a while before I can get around to this.
