Bug#561685: gcj-jdk: class PrintStream method printf doesn't print floats

["Peter T. Breuer" <ptb@inv.it.uc3m.es>]

Package: gcj-jdk
Version: 4:4.4.2-2
Severity: normal


This test program

class Test {

   public static void main(String argv[]) {

       Object args[] = {
           new Float(0.0001),
       };
       System.err.printf("%f\n", args);
   }
}

produces no output when compiled with gcj (gcj Test.java --main=Test
-o Test) and run (./Test).

The correct output is produced when the bytecode is produced by javac
and run with the java virtual machine:

  % javac Test.java 
  % java Test
  0.000100

printf is generally messed up anyway. The %x format insists on
printing 64 bit numbers even when given 32 bit integers as feed, and
it sign-extends them all, reulting in 0xffffffff80000000 output from
integer 0x8000000.

And %g doesn't print anything either.
