ASML C Coding Standard

Rule: 7.19.b

Synopsis:	The arguments in a formatted output function shall match the output specifiers in the format specification.
Language:	C
Severity Level:	1
Category:	Library

Description:

Justification

Execution leads to undefined results when an output specifier and argument type do not match.

Example

printf("%i", p); /* WRONG */
printf("%ll", l); /* WRONG */
printf("%o"); /* WRONG */
printf(" ", i); /* WRONG */

Note

Format specifier must be constant, when possible, to allow checking.
