Subject: [PATCH][Mini-OS] printf("%n" behavior on overflow
Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 12:08:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071228120857.GE4863@implementation.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

Hello,

In C99 (7.19.6.2.10), the behavior of scanf("stuff... %n", ..., &n) is
said to be undefined if the value to be put is n can't fit.  I guess we
can safely consider that the same applies to printf.
