#608: rb_str_format() does not handle the "field width" flag for strings ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: martinlagardette@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Ruby: {{{ ruby -e 'puts "%-10s%s" % ["a", "b"]' a b }}} MacRuby SVN r3441: {{{ macruby -e 'puts "%-10s%s" % ["a", "b"]' ab }}} This happens because `sprintf.cpp:rb_str_format:467` transforms `%s` into `%@`, and asks for formating to `CFStringCreateWithFormat()`, which does not handle the "field width" flag for Cocoa objects (`%@`). A possible fix might be to explicitly call `-[NSObject description]` and then get the UTF8/16 C string (which means `%s` would not be transformed into `%@`), but I'm not sure this is a pretty fix :D -- Ticket URL: <http://www.macruby.org/trac/ticket/608> MacRuby <http://macruby.org/>
