Hi Jürgen! * Jürgen Sauermann <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, 2020-05-24, 16:11:
This lets me wonder if the fact that my glibc version accepts (and discards) a 0x prefix in a 'X' conversion is merely a convenience that may disappear at some later point in time, or an intended feature on which a programmer may rely on.
It's an intended feature. C99 (and POSIX) requires stripping "0x". -- Jakub Wilk
