------- Comment #3 from jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-08-25 16:26 ------- All that garbage string ∗ is an * (asterisk)
Character encoding got cobbled up there. I want to add that the key to this question is that '*' is a character expression form of the format specifier so 10.1.2 applies. Also, * is not an edit-descriptor. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33189
