---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006470) geoffclare (manager) - 2023-09-07 15:43 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771#c6470 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After page 3275 line 111227 section printf, add two paragraphs to FUTURE DIRECTIONS:<blockquote>A future version of this standard is expected to add a %b conversion to the <i>printf</i>() function for binary conversion of integers, in alignment with the next version of the ISO C standard. This will result in an inconsistency between the <i>printf</i> utility and <i>printf</i>() function for format strings containing %b. Implementors are encouraged to collaborate on a way to address this which could then be adopted in a future version of this standard. For example, the <i>printf</i> utility could add a <b>-C</b> option to make the format string behave in the same way, as far as possible, as the <i>printf</i>() function. A future version of this standard may add a %q or %Q conversion (or both) to convert a string argument to a quoted output format that can be reused as shell input.</blockquote> Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2023-08-07 19:22 calestyo New Issue 2023-08-07 19:22 calestyo Name => Christoph Anton Mitterer 2023-08-07 19:22 calestyo Section => Utilities / printf 2023-08-07 19:22 calestyo Page Number => 3269 2023-08-07 19:22 calestyo Line Number => 111019 2023-08-07 19:36 chet_ramey Note Added: 0006416 2023-08-07 19:46 calestyo Note Added: 0006417 2023-08-07 23:39 salewski Issue Monitored: salewski 2023-08-08 08:46 geoffclare Note Added: 0006418 2023-08-08 14:28 calestyo Note Added: 0006420 2023-08-08 15:04 geoffclare Note Added: 0006421 2023-08-08 17:10 calestyo Note Added: 0006422 2023-08-08 18:45 eblake Note Added: 0006423 2023-08-08 20:40 jsm28 Note Added: 0006424 2023-08-08 20:53 calestyo Note Added: 0006425 2023-08-31 16:10 Don Cragun Note Added: 0006439 2023-08-31 16:13 Don Cragun Final Accepted Text => See https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771#c6439. 2023-08-31 16:13 Don Cragun Status New => Resolved 2023-08-31 16:13 Don Cragun Resolution Open => Accepted As Marked 2023-08-31 16:14 Don Cragun Tag Attached: issue8 2023-08-31 17:46 eblake Relationship added related to 0001774 2023-08-31 17:48 eblake Note Added: 0006440 2023-08-31 17:49 eblake Note Edited: 0006440 2023-08-31 18:33 eblake Note Added: 0006441 2023-08-31 22:00 eblake Note Added: 0006442 2023-09-01 01:23 kre Note Added: 0006443 2023-09-01 01:40 kre Note Added: 0006444 2023-09-01 01:43 kre Note Edited: 0006443 2023-09-01 08:40 geoffclare Note Added: 0006445 2023-09-01 12:00 eblake Note Added: 0006446 2023-09-01 12:03 eblake Note Edited: 0006446 2023-09-01 12:29 stephane Note Added: 0006447 2023-09-01 12:30 stephane Note Edited: 0006447 2023-09-01 12:32 stephane Note Edited: 0006447 2023-09-01 14:00 geoffclare Note Added: 0006448 2023-09-01 14:17 chet_ramey Note Added: 0006449 2023-09-01 17:55 stephane Note Added: 0006450 2023-09-01 18:37 kre Note Added: 0006451 2023-09-01 19:02 stephane Note Added: 0006452 2023-09-02 09:01 geoffclare Note Added: 0006453 2023-09-05 16:24 chet_ramey Note Added: 0006457 2023-09-07 08:19 kre Note Added: 0006458 2023-09-07 14:21 calestyo Note Added: 0006461 2023-09-07 15:43 geoffclare Note Added: 0006470 ======================================================================
