I guess the argument here is that 'f' is easier to type, and still visually distinct, while 'l' looks too much like '1' so 'L' helps make the distinction. Also, %Lg is how you specify long double to printf, so writing a constant with L helps. No problem by me if we stick to 'f' and 'L' for the places where we want suffixes. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
