Hi, Brandon.
I am not a jdk8 Reviewer (http://openjdk.java.net/census#jdk8), but I am the
original author.
No time to check the spec now, but is precision ever applicable when the flag
'%' is provided? If it is, then old line 2726 should probably just be changed
to "print("%')".
Rather than write a brand new test for this bug, I suggest you add a test case
to the rather extensive set of unit tests for Formatter defined by this file:
test/java/util/Formatter/Basic.java
(Look at Basic-X.java.template, line 1703. Regenerate Basic*.java via
Basic.sh.)
Thanks,
iris

Subject: Review request for #6783209
Hello core-libs-dev. Can someone please do a code review of the following
proposed fix for 6783209 : (fmt)Formatter doesn't support width for %%.
Webrev : http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpassani/6783209/0/webrev/
Bug URL: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6783209
The fix is to use justify() within Formatter.java to do the proper padding when
using the '%' conversion. I have included a new test program to test instances
of format specifiers that use the '%'
conversion with a width value. The test also includes the testing of '%'
without a width to ensure there aren't regressions.
Thanks.
