Subject: Special case NULL when using printf's %s format
X-Git-Tag: binutils-2_31~1037
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ae9ce5dd7d1119ca2c94c63a07b04921048ebe3;p=external%2Fbinutils.git

Special case NULL when using printf's %s format

This changes the printf command's %s and %ls formats to special-case
NULL, and print "(null)" for these.  This is PR cli/14977.  This
behavior seems a bit friendlier; I was undecided on whether other
invalid pointers should be handled specially somehow, so for the time
being I've left those out.
