New submission from Xiang Zhang:
Although declared *exactly equivalent* to printf in the doc,
PyUnicode_FromFormat could generate different result from printf with the same
format.
For example:
from ctypes import pythonapi, py_object, c_int
f = getattr(pythonapi, 'PyUnicode_FromFormat')
f.restype = py_object
f(b'%010.5d', c_int(100))
'0000000100'
while printf outputs:
printf("%010.5d\n", 100);
00100
I use both gcc and clang to compile and get the same result. gcc gives me a
warning:
warning: '0' flag ignored with precision and ‘%d’ gnu_printf format
I am not sure this should be fixed. It seems the change could break backwards
compatibility.
