Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mingw32
OS: Ubuntu 8.04/AMD64.
Package: 4.2.1.dfsg-1ubuntu1
Description:
The snprintf library function incorrectly parses the "%lu" format specifier as
"unsigned long long" instead of "unsigned long" resulting in incorrect value
formatting.
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char buf[256];
snprintf(buf, 256, "%lu", (size_t)12345678);
printf(buf);
return 0;
}
Prints:
9151369040453460302
Instead of:
12345678
Other functions like printf and sprintf do work fine.
Native Linux GCC compiler version 4.2.3 produces correct code in both 32 and 64
mode.
When replacing (size_t) with (unsigned long long) the above code works fine
also in mingw32.
** Affects: mingw32 (Ubuntu)
