Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libc6
I used Ubuntu 7.04 on x86 system (Pentium M), and updated the libc
package to version 2.6: (2.6-3ubuntu2). The error described below also
appliled to glibc 2.5, IIRC.
I found that the following C program won't print the correct number of
digits:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *env[])
{
printf("%#.4g\n", 912.98);
return 0;
}
The output should be "913.0", but my Ubuntu box shows "913." (no
trailing zero). The alternate format, according to the C standard,
should print out the trailing zeros after decimal point.
This error is shameful and severe! I tried on different systems (Fedora
5, Fedora 6, SunOS, CentOS), none of them show this sickness.
