sh3, newlib, and sprintf

["Steve Goodrich"<steveg at cirris dot com>]

I have an Hitachi HS7709 eval board that I am trying to get up and running on. I
am having problems with the sprintf function. sprintf seems to work unless I use
a floating point parameter, i.e. "sprintf(ca, "%f", a);" where ca is a 32 byte
character array and a is a double. 

I am using newlib 1.8.1, gcc 2.95.2, binutils-2.9.1. If I run the program under
the debugger, I can see that the floating point math is working correctly but
after the sprintf function, nothing has been done to the target char array. If I
change the format string to "%d" and use an integer param instead, it works
fine.

I have attached the code for a small test program below. I know it is not the
most efficient code but we are trying to put together a benchmark for floating
point performance. my_putchar is just the putchar routine from the docs for the
eval board. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, 

Steve

int main()
{
    double a = 0.0;
    char ca[32];
    while(a <= 2.0*M_PI)
    {
        a += M_PI/8.0;
        sprintf(ca, "%e", a);
        sendstr(ca);
    }
    return 0;
}

void sendstr(const char *cp)
{
    while(*cp)
        my_putchar(*cp++);
        
}
