All,
I forgot to mention in the previous message: %[oux] also fail for numbers
larger than 1<<63:
$ printf '%x\n' 0xffffc00000000000
printf: 0xffffc00000000000: Result too large or too small
7fffffffffffffff
I am seeing something different:
$printf '0x%x\n' 0xffffc00000000000
0xffffc00000000000
I am running 9.99.72, so I could be a little out of date.
Some shells have its own built-in versions of printf(1).
At least bash and zsh versions work whereas /usr/bin/printf
fails for '0x%x\n' 0xffffc00000000000.
Thanks,
