| Summary | 0004204: Positional specifiers in Printf don't appear to work | |||||||
| Description | Positional specifiers do not work as indicated in the documentation for Printf. Specifically, the example given "For instance, %.*3$f prints a float with as many fractional digits as the value of the third argument." gives the following response in the toploop: # Printf.printf "%.*3$f";; Characters 14-22: Printf.printf "%.*3$f";; rather than int -> float -> unit! | |||||||
| Additional Information | I'm assuming that this is a code bug rather than a docs bug if Printf aims to be POSIX compliant. | |||||||

Oops --- bottom two lines of the toploop transcript are missing. It should have read: # Printf.printf "%.*3$f";; Characters 14-22: Printf.printf "%.*3$f";; ^^^^^^^^ Bad conversion %3, at char number 0 in format string ``%.*3$f'' |

This a bug in the type-checking of format strings. This is not so easy to fix, and need a rather drastic modification of the routine that type-checks format strings. This is on the TODO list for the next version. In the mean time, a quick fix could be to suppress positional specifiers from the documentation of format strings :) |

fixed by removing positional specifiers from the doc (for the time being) |
