But if “rtems_error()” can easily be replaced by either "fprintf(stderr, …)" or "printk()" then deprecate it with that recommendation. I’ve often had spirited discussions with clients because I think "fprintf(stderr, …)" needs to be supported cleanly in an embedded environment (as early as possible, and in as many environments as possible, leaving an escape hatch for a “printk()” in an ISR etc), since if the customer can’t use “fprintf(stderr, …)" they can’t use libraries easily. The customer usually specifies a special “my_error_prinft(...)" that they want to use instead of “fprintf(stderr, …)”, and if that’s what “rtems_error()” is then deprecate it.<div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 16, 2016, at 15:27 , Joel Sherrill <<a href="mailto:joel@rtems.org" class="">joel@rtems.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">Hi<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I know this is a very old piece of code and predates printk() but should</div><div class="">this routine be changed to use printk()?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is it still safe?
