Subject: [PATCH] printk.c: removed unnecessary code
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2016 16:19:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1480432743-8049-1-git-send-email-sebastian.duda@fau.de> (raw)

snprintf((char *) ?, 0, ...); always returns Zero and doesn't change the data.
Thus the execution of
	snprintf(NULL, 0, "[%5lu.000000] ", (unsigned long)ts);
has no effect on program.
The substitution with 0 increases the readability of the code.
