            Bug ID: 23278
           Summary: printf using %a inconsistent
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.27
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: tydeman.fred at gmail dot com
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

This code

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 1.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 2.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 4.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 8.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 16.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 3.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 6.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 12.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 23.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 24.);
  (void)printf("%.0a\n", 25.);
  return 0;
}

shows that printf uses both 1 bit and 2 bits for the integer part before the
'p'
(which seems inconsistent).  My guess is it depends upon rounding up.
