I found a very interesting bug in libg++-2.2.
Machine is IRIS 4D/VGX with IRIX 4.0.1
1:
The output of this tiny program is a little bit strange.
#include <stream.h>
main()
{
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",21.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",20.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",21.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",20.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",21.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",20.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",21.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",20.0);
cout << form(" %10.5f\n",21.0);
}
Output is,
21.00000
20.000000 <- here
21.00000
20.000000 <- here
21.00000
20.000000 <- here
21.00000
20.000000 <- here
21.00000
Only when form() output 20.0, the format changes.
2:
This is another bug. Because I don't want such a dirty format above, I
changed the "cout << form()" to "printf()" then interesting accident
took place
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stream.h>
main()
{
for(int I = 0;I<10;++I)
{
cout << "A";
printf("B");
}
}
Output of this program is,
AAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBB
I think everyone will expect the output below.
ABABABABABABABABABAB
or are these strangeness specification?
