bug report : cl-format

[Carlos Ungil]

Hello,

I don't know if there is a better way to file bug reports (if there is one, it's not easy to find).

(use 'clojure.pprint)

(let [x 111.11111]

  (doseq [fmt ["~3f~%" "~4f~%" "~5f~%" "~6f~%"]]

    (cl-format true fmt x)))

;; 111.11111

;; 111.11111

;; 111.1

;; 111.11

There is clearly a problem in the first two cases, too many digits are being printed.

For reference, this is what common lisp does:

(let ((x 111.11111))

  (loop for fmt  in '("~3f~%" "~4f~%" "~5f~%" "~6f~%")

do (format t fmt x)))

;; 111.

;; 111.

;; 111.1

;; 111.11

Cheers,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

This certainly looks like a bug. I've filed issue 768 on myself
(http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-768) and I'll take a look as
soon as I get a chance.

Thanks for bringing this up,

Tom
