printf(3) long long

printf(3) long long

Post by Bob Nels » Thu, 21 Mar 1996 04:00:00



Library:  libc-4.7.5 (a.out)
Compiler: gcc 2.7.2
Man Page: printf(3) 1 November 1995

Support for long long int is shown in the man page with the 'L',
'll' or 'q' specifiers. GNU's info for libc shows the same.
In addition, the 'Z' specifier can be used for a size_t conversion.

While these are certainly not embraced within ISO 9899:1990, why are
they documented in a linux-specific man page but not supported in the
aforementioned library? (See libio/iovfprintf.c).

Another ELF-ism perhaps?

If you would inform yourself before writing you will notive that

a) 4.7.5 is faaaar too old

b) current ELF-libc version of course support this.
