Hello.

I've noticed that there are a lot of sprintf specifications that has
the "#" flag for the "d" conversion in
djgpp/tests/cygnus/sprint_ivec.c.

E. g. lines 125 and 126:
__LINE__, 0x001dc6bb,   "1951419", "%#4ld",
__LINE__, 0x00000868,   "  2152", "%#6d",

This is weird and IMO broken, because the standard says that the "#"
flag is only valid for the o, x, X, a, A, e, E, f, F, g and G
conversions and undefined behaviour for the other conversions.

It's broken because having tests that relies on undefined behaviour
doesn't make sense.

Comments?


Right,
