Comment(by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
At a glance it looks like the problem is in the way we convert the
argument to a C_INT type, to pass to the CFStringCreateWithFormat
function, in the objc.m file - rb_str_format().
Instead of trying to convert big fixnums or bignums to C_INT we should
instead take a different code path and print every digit out of the
numeric type.
This easily reproduces when trying to print a bignum:
{{{
$ ./miniruby -e "p '%d' % (42**12)"
-e:1:in `%': bignum too big to convert into `long' (RangeError)
from -e:1:in `<main>'
$
}}}
(sprintf.c is mostly unused in MacRuby, because we rely on CF for this.)
