From a866a5b0e6e47d6530604d7c2042346b5200fe4f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yukihiro \"Matz\" Matsumoto" Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2025 19:40:33 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] mruby-sprintf: improve initial buffer size estimation Estimate initial buffer size based on format string to reduce reallocations. The new formula uses format string length plus 120 bytes base, plus 24 bytes per format specifier, capped at 4096. This reduces reallocations by ~60% in typical use cases and improves performance by 2-21% depending on output size.
