Hello.
I want to represent up to a few hundreds gigabytes for file size.
On 32bits platform, I noticed that
my $value = ...;
printf("%u\n", $value);
prints 4294967295 if $value >= 4294967295 whereas
my $value = ...;
printf("%s\n", $value);
and
use Math::BigInt;
my $value = ...;
printf("%s\n", Math::BigInt->new($value)->bstr());
print correct value even when $value >= 4294967295.
Is it guaranteed (e.g. described as language specification) that
printf("%s\n", $value) will print correct value for any environment?
