Reporter: administrator
Status: closed
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

I know this function is deprecated, and it's documented to only accept the
%x, etc. format strings, but it currently returns bogus results if you pass
more than that for the format string. It should probably throw an
Invalid_argument exception instead:

     Objective Caml version 3.07+beta 2

Int64.format "__ph__float "0x%X"" (Int64.bits_of_float 1.2345);;

  • : string = "__ph__float "0x126E978DI64""

The result in the above demo is just totally bogus, although it appears
okay at first glance.

Updated documentation to narrow down range of accepted formats and deprecate the
function even more. XL, 2003-09-09
