Summary

0003992: Printf: positional specifiers do not work

Description

According to the documentation, Printf.sprintf "%1$i" should be the same as Printf.sprintf "%i" but instead gives:

# Printf.sprintf "%1$i";;
Characters 15-21:
Printf.sprintf "%1$i";;
^^^^^^
Bad conversion %$, at char number 0 in format string ``%1$i''

Notes
(0003609) weis (developer) 2006-04-05 17:57	Indeed, the documentation is ahead from the typechecker's implementation. A quick and easy fix is to change the documentation; a better fix would be to get the typechecker correct wrt the [printf] documentation. I'll give a try to this last option.

(0004606) doligez (manager) 2008-09-10 17:36	Quick fix: remove positional parameters in printf/scanf and their documentation. They will come back when we manage to make them work perfectly.
