Bug ID: 82752
Summary: Support %OB, %Ob strftime formats
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
There is a POSIX proposal http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=258 accepted
for issue 8 (the next major revision of POSIX, not yet in progress) for adding
a strftime %OB format (for nominative as opposed to genitive month names, in
languages where standalone months needs a different case from months used with
a day number). This has apparently been in FreeBSD since 1999, and should soon
be going in glibc, along with corresponding %Ob (since it turns out abbreviated
months also need different cases in some languages).
GCC should support %OB and %Ob strftime formats in -Wformat (with due warning
for being extensions over ISO C with -Wformat -Wpedantic). This will be needed
to avoid warnings for glibc tests of the new feature.
