| Summary | 0001643: fprintf %lc: wrong reference to the current conversion specification | ||||||
| Description |
The reference to "the wint_t argument to the ls conversion specification" makes no sense, since an ls conversion specification takes a wchar_t* argument. In ISO C 99 this paragraph reads "If an l length modifier is present, the wint_t argument is converted as if by an ls conversion specification with no precision and an argument that points to the initial element of a two-element array of wchar_t, the first element containing the wint_t argument to the lc conversion specification and the second a null wide character." So, apparently POSIX and ISO C 99 are based on a common ancestor document, and the reference to "ls" has been corrected in ISO C 99, i.e. changed to "lc". |
||||||
| Desired Action | Change "the wint_t argument to the ls conversion specification" to "the wint_t argument to the lc conversion specification". | ||||||

For my own reference as much as anything else, Bruno found this while reporting a corner-case bug in glibc's printf(): https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30257 [^] and which he found to be also present in most other tested libc except musl. Namely, narrow printf("%lc", (wint_t)0) is surprisingly required to produce 0 bytes instead of the multibyte sequence for the null character, because that is the behavior of %ls with no precision when handed a wchar_t array with a null character in the first index; and this behavior is both different than the wprintf behavior, and from the %c behavior with a NUL byte. |
