I actually expected to get an error, so I tried it with gcc last night: printf( "arg %2$d, arg %3$d\n", 1, 2, 3 );
gcc didn't even feel a need to warn me. I didn't try getting any of the gettext tools to accept it. If they won't, we may want to consider whether it should be possible to tell them to treat it as a warning rather than an error. I wouldn't make that the default behavior. It is almost always an error to omit a parameter. However, it would be nice to be able to override it when necessary. - Dale ----- Original Message ----- From: Åsmund Skjæveland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Friday, February 25, 2005 7:30 am Subject: Re: Supressing a %d parameter in a string > > When you are using the numbered version of the formatting > parameters, > > you should just be able to leave out the ones that you don't > want.
