---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006521) gabravier (reporter) - 2023-10-05 21:04 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1771#c6521 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I should say that it does indeed seem as though the conflicts with C's printf seem pretty irreconcilable - I think the only plausible solution that avoids any possible future conflict is to just embrace the fact that printf(1) currently conflicts with C and go with the proposed "have a -C flag for a printf that behaves like the one from C" route. In particular, I think a -C option should absolutely never add any formatting capabilities whatsoever over what C provides. This should leave printf(1) (when invoked without -C) free to add whatever extensions it might want to later without worrying too much about the potential of C showing up with a newfangled format character that screws with what POSIX wants to do, like what has happened here with %b.
