Hi,
I stumbled upon a problem with printf(3) when porting a program.
The following code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main(void) {
int32_t x = 12345;
int64_t y = 12345;
printf("%i %'i\n", x, x);
printf("%lld %'lld\n", y, y);
}
Procudes the output:
$ ./test
12345 'i
12345 'lld
When the expected result would be(C locale):
$ ./test
12345 12345
12345 12345
The single quote flag is defined by posix in
http://www.rdg.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/fprintf.html
Is there any reason why this is not implemented?
Please cc replies to me.
Thanks,
-Tobias
