In C, the format specifiers in the format string (%s and %d) tell printf() and friends how to interpret the arguments. printf() can't look at its first argument and say "oh, that's a number, I'll match it up with the %d"; C's low-level enough that such run-time type information is not available. It would likely try to interpret its numeric first argument as a pointer to a string, and comedy would ensue. (Plus, such a special case wouldn't be very generally useful.) I take it my corrections are the right way round? _______________________________________________ Freeciv-i18n mailing list Freeciv-i18n-8nu/[email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-i18n
