I'd like to ask whether there is any intention to implement the X/Open extension ' (0x27) printf() format flag. (Numbered argument specifications work (thanks to Jeff Johnston), and they are an X/Open extension too.)
I encountered this problem using cygwin-1.5.10-3 on an XP. Illustration: -------- #define _XOPEN_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> #include <assert.h> #include <locale.h> int main(void) { assert(setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "")); /* This works. */ printf("%1$d %1$d\n", 1000); /* This does not, even if LC_NUMERIC is C. */ printf("%'d\n", 1001); return 0; } -------- Thank you Laszlo Ersek -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
