Given that people using printf() usually don't use something as small as an ATtiny13 (with only 64 bytes of RAM), I think that's not an issue here. We might document this as one of the differences between the minimal and the standard version then. I think, overall, having useable printf() support in avr-libc is one of the features that make using the AVR a nice job, so making it more useful is a Good Thing. There are always people who "as a matter of principle" believe printf() is evil on a small controller, though I bet, the majority of them would actually produce larger code by rolling their own formatting and output functions. ;-) -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
