Subject: cygwin gcc 2.95-2 printf bug
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

There is a bug printing near-zero floating point numbers in 2.95.2.

main() {
  printf("[%5.2f] [%5.2f]\n",0.01,-0.01);
  printf("[%5.2f] [%5.2f]\n",0.001,-0.001);
  exit(0);
}

Produces:
[ 0.01] [-0.01]
[ 0] [-0]

gcc -v on my Windows 2000 machine gives:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-6 19991024 (cygwin experimental)


The correct result occurs on two other platforms:
Reading specs from
/usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20/2.8.1/specs
gcc version 2.8.1

and:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0)
