What's so strange with that? The standard way to get a '%' through printf() and friends has always been to double it. \% isn't even mentioned in the man page for printf() on Linux. \% is doubly confusing as the escape sequences starting with \ used in string literals are interpreted already by the compiler. As far as I know using the sequence \% in a string might invoke undefined behaviour in the compiler. Apparently gcc chooses to store both the \ and % in the string literal as such (compare to for instance \n which stores just one char in the string literal), so they get passed on to printf. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
