Support for %i in format strings.
JohnEarnest opened this issue · comments
The POSIX spec permits using %i
as an alternative to %d
. This is supported by most awk implementations:
% awk 'BEGIN{printf("%i\n",42)}'
42
% mawk 'BEGIN{printf("%i\n",42)}'
42
% gawk 'BEGIN{printf("%i\n",42)}'
42
GoAWK v1.27.0 does not interpret %i
correctly:
% goawk 'BEGIN{printf("%i\n",42)}'
%!i(int=42)
Thanks for the report. Are you interested in fixing this? I suspect it'll be fairly trivial.
It looks like %a
and %A
don't work either (at a quick glance, looks like they should be equivalent to %x
/ %X
). Not sure if that will be trivial or not.
I don't program in Go; I'd rather not work up a PR. Just reporting an inconsistency I tripped over while testing the portability of my Awk scripts.
@JohnEarnest That's fine, I'll get to it at some point. Thanks again for the report.
