Subject:   patch for '%lld' handling in *scanf(3)
Message-ID:  <20010623151310.A497@ringworld.oblivion.bg>

Hi,

scanf(3) does not understand %lld for 'long long', it only understands
%qd, and it treats %lld as plain %ld.  printf(3) prints out %lld just fine.
The fix needed is just three lines of code, which have been in both NetBSD
and OpenBSD for some time.

Demonstration: the following program:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main(void) {
	quad_t x = 0xeFFFFFFFFFFFFFFe;

	scanf("%lld", &x);
	printf("%llx\n", x);
	return (0);
}

Before:

[roam@freefall ~/c/misc/foo]$ ./foo7
5
efffffff00000005
[roam@freefall ~/c/misc/foo]$

After:

[roam@ringworld:v4 ~/c/misc/foo]$ ./foo7
5
5
[roam@ringworld:v4 ~/c/misc/foo]$

The patch is attached.

OK, so maybe this patch is not quite semantically correct; it tends
to assume that 'long long' is the same as 'quad', or at least, that
the programmer asked for 'quad' by using %lld.  A 'real' fix would
be defining a LONGLONG flag for scanf().

G'luck,
Peter
