[55:00][Q&A]
|
||
|
|
[56:26][@zamar037][Does the float printout account for left or right alignment?]
|
||
|
|
[58:17][@sharlock93][Are we stuck on what something %3d means? I was away]
|
||
|
|
[59:17][@culver_fly][Sorry if it sounds rude, but why do you even care about the specs? Why don't you just print whatever you want it to be? I mean, it's your code?]

|
[59:48][handmade_shared.h: Deduplicate the float cases]
|
||
|
|
[1:01:01][@sharlock93][As far as I know %3.3f means 3 numbers before the decimal and precise to three decimal numbers]
|
||
|
|
[1:01:35][@mmozeiko][Use the http://cppreference.com it has better docs than cplusplus.com, and cppreference states it's a minimum width]
|
||
|
|
[1:02:21][@sharlock93][Guess I have been wrong all this time]
|
||
|
|
[1:02:42][@insofaras][Can you say something quotable for test purposes?]

|
|
[1:02:51]["I feel like it's hard to say something quotable on demand"][quote 526]
|
||
|
|
[1:03:12][@3ygun][Minimum width would make it more consistent across all types of printf]
|
||
|
|
[1:03:24][@programgamer][So wait, is it a behavior problem or a bad spec problem?]
|
||
|
|
[1:04:04][@elxenoanizd][Do you think it's worth implementing a custom string class that uses a custom heap for allocation and disposition of memory instead of dealing directly with null-terminated C-strings (talking mostly for tools programming)?]
|
||
|
|
[1:04:39][@sharlock93][Thanks for the stream, have a good evening, going to work, are you gonna stream at this time from now on?]
|
||
|
|
[1:05:24][@macielda][Is text printing speed interfering with your profiling accuracy in a significant way?]
|
||
|
|
[1:05:56][@torgdor][What advantages does this version of printf have over the standard library printf?]
|
||
|
|
[1:08:12][@longboolean][Right now you are padding with zeros, "the spec", at least in one example, looks like it pads with spaces]
