Original bug ID: 5121
Reporter: khooyp
Assigned to: @pierreweis
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2015-12-11T18:18:45Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: high
Severity: minor
Version: 3.11.2
Target version: 4.00.2+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Comparing the Printf module vs. the Format module:

Printf.printf "111 %(%d%) 222%!" "%d" 3;;

111 3 222- : unit = ()

Format.printf "111 %(%d%) 222%!" "%d" 3;;

111 - : unit =

This seems to happen if %( %) encloses any format specifier.

I attached a patch on the current head that solves the issue.
cont_m in Format.mkprintf was wrongly computing the indexes in the array of values.

Thanks again for the bug report and the patch. I did a big cleaning in the code to get rid of the bug, as well as suppress irrelevant differences between Printf and Format codes for function mk_printf.

I will add your example to the test suite for the module Format.
