Re: [Gretl-devel] posible issue with sprintf

Hello,
I have found a possible issue with sprintf(). In the following script
should not section 1 and 2 yield similar printed output? But note that
bslash is empty after section 1 (output included). Is this the intended
behavior? OS = Win 7 64bit and gretl = 1.9.91cvs
#1
sprintf bslash "\\"
print bslash
#2
printf "\\"
Yes I can confirm this, which may not mean much because my OS parameters
here are identical. Also notice the following variation with four
backslashes:
<hansl>
#1
sprintf bslash "\\\\"
check = strlen(bslash)
print check
print bslash
#2
printf "\\"
</hansl>
which gives a string of length 1 and prints a single backslash here:
<output>
gretl-Version 1.9.91cvs

</output>
