re: What does 1#J mean? A strange corner case of the printing of special values
For what it's worth, the C99 standard (I don't have a copy of C90 handy) explicitly prescribes how printf() should output infinite and NaN values:7.19.6.1p8 ...A double argument representing an...

alegr1,Certainly true, but for thread synchronization it was very valuable. Even if they do not solve all sorts of problems, that shouldn't be a reason for reject in cases where they might have an...

@Igor:Unfortunately, MSVC doesn't claim conformance with C99. C90 doesn't seem to say what should be output when the argument represents an infinity.

Funny observation: This wouldn't happen in Norway... Norwegian (like other Scandinavian languages) adds three extra letters (Æ, Ø Å) at the end of the alphabet, so the middle character is 'O' (which is...

@j b: 5 has ASCII code 53 while N has ASCII code 78, so N is always greater than 5.

"I discussed this nearly a decade ago."Ow, that hurt. I haven't been reading TONT since the beginning, but pretty close. Hard to believe it's been nearly a decade.

In the referenced article, ‘two converts’ should be replaced with ‘two and converts’.

Actually, the sign for a rounded [i] is not [ü], but [y] (in the International Phonetic Alphabet, which is what you'd be using when discussing phonetics /per se/, not the study of a particular language...

@Rosyna: probably not. Every new version of MSVC has a new separate copy of the C runtime with a different name (unlike on most Unix systems, where there is a single C runtime shared by all compilers -...

But you don't have any proof that someone will run into this problem. Yet the bug still won't be addressed. It'll just always be there with a note somewhere saying "1#J" Means "infinite".What does...
