- This is a list of known problems in gawk 2.10.
- Hopefully they will all be fixed in the next major release of gawk.
-
- Please keep in mind that this is still beta software and the code
- is still undergoing significant evolution.
-
- 1. %g does not truncate non-significant zeros.
- gawk 'BEGIN { printf "%g\n", 1 }' should print "1", not "1.000000".
-
- 2. %d doesn't quite work either:
- echo 1 | gawk '{ printf "%0.2d\n", $1 }' should print "01", not "1".
-
- 3. The debugging code does not print redirection info.
-
- 4. The scanner needs an overhaul.
-
- 5. The source code files could probably stand some reorganization as well.
