OK, I've looked around, and I'm now convinced that the revision I mentioned is the root cause of the failure of ticker formatting.
Basically, the new formatter implementation in sanity.{cc,hh} seems to work in a two-step fashion. First, the data being added to the format structure used (plain_format or i18n_format) is fed directly to the internal string stream (pimpl->oss, found by using get_stream()) with no formatting whatsoever. THEN, the string built up from the string stream is fed to the underlying formatting class (pimpl->fmt) in string form. The problem with this is that the formatting which is supposed to happen in the second step has already happened in the first, basically making the formatting useless for anything other than indicating in what parts of the format string each piece of data is supposed to end up. Graydon, since you did this change, could you tell me how you intended the design to be? The lack of comments doesn't really make things entirely clear. That or make appropriate changes yourself :-). (or, well, if someone could pay me a class in mind reading, I wouldn't mind that either, there are tons of uses for that :-)) In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on Sun, 04 Jun 2006 09:45:04 +0200 (CEST), Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: richard> Hi, richard> richard> I just updated my mtn to all the changes in the last week (since richard> Monday, to be precise), and noticed that the ticker output has richard> changed: richard> richard> : ; mtn pull richard> mtn: ansluter till off.net richard> mtn: letar efter saker att synkronisera: richard> mtn: certifikat | nycklar | revisioner richard> mtn: 18971 | 30 | 6280 richard> mtn: byte in | byte ut | cert in | rev in richard> mtn: 420 | 1.7959 Ki | 0 | 0 richard> mtn: byte in | byte ut | cert in | rev in richard> mtn: 310.809 Ki | 45.0117 Ki | 24/24 | 6/6 richard> mtn: lyckat utbyte med off.net richard> richard> There are two things that have changed: richard> richard> - floats aren't limited to one decimal any more. richard> - it seems that locale isn't considered any more.
