[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#888854: zsh: printf truncates large values

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.4.2-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

cventin% printf "%x\n" 10865468317030705979
zsh: number truncated after 19 digits: 10865468317030705979

There's no reason to truncate the value on a 64-bit machine!

The printf from GNU coreutils is correct:

cventin% /usr/bin/printf "%x\n" 10865468317030705979
