If the standard actually says what you say
It does.
This one isn't just of academic interest, there's lots of code that does stuff like
printf("The date is: %.24s today\n", asctime(tm));
and expects that there cannot be a newline between the date and the word "today".
Then that code is broken. End of story. -- Clive D.W. Feather | Work: <clive@demon.net> | Tel: +44 20 8495 6138 Internet Expert | Home: <clive@davros.org> | Fax: +44 870 051 9937 Demon Internet | WWW: http://www.davros.org | Mobile: +44 7973 377646 Thus plc | |
