https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18599 Issue ID: 18599 Summary: std.format %(...%) format does not allow modifiers that take additional arguments Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: phobos Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: hsteoh quickfur.ath.cx Currently, this is supported: ----- import std.format; format("%(%.14f, %)", [ 1.1, 2.2, 3.3 ]); ----- and so is this: ----- format("%(%10.3f, %)", [ 1.1, 2.2, 3.3 ]); ----- However, this is not supported: ----- format("%(%.*f, %)", double.dig, [ 1.1, 2.2, 3.3 ]); ----- Nor this: ----- format("%(%*.3f, %)", 5, [ 1.1, 2.2, 3.3 ]); ----- Basically, any nested specifier that takes an additional argument is not supported, because of the way nested specifiers are implemented. It would be nice if this could somehow be made to work. --
