Printing long double

[jj2007]

Code Select Expand

  long double ld=1234567890.1234567890;
  printf("This is a long double:\t%.9f\n", ld); // This is a long double:  1234567890.123456746

Works like a charm, as expected. Compiles fine in GCC-64, too, but there the output is 0.000000
Any explanation?

gcc use msvcrt.dll ?
with gcc internal function

Code Select Expand

__mingw_printf("This is a long double:\t%.9Lf\n", ld);

This is a long double with msvcrt printf:       0.000000000
This is a long double with mingw printf:        1234567890.123456717

Nice find, Timo!
