Hi Dave,

 

Thread safety for newlib was implemented in Zephyr recently, there should not be any issues left with it. If there are, please open a GitHub issue:

 

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/36201

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/35227

 

Thanks,

 

Carles

Careful Anders! Last I looked, newlib was not really supported properly in Zephyr.
Internally newlib sometimes uses free storage, and the OS needs to implement some hooks for thread-safety.
See for example FreeRTOS issues with the same:

Hope that helps,
Best Regards, Dave

 

PS: Picolib is striving to avoid internal malloc-etc use.

Hi,
 
I have just started working with Zephyr and struggled the other day with getting sprintf working for floats.
 
After searching the internet I found out that when using CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC=y I also have to add CONFIG_NEWLIB_LIBC_FLOAT_PRINTF=y
to make things work as expected.
 
Where can I find this kind of information, e.g. dependencies, to avoid having to search the internet for answers in the future?
 
Thx in advance,
Anders
