["varunc at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

stap -e 'probe begin { j = 10; aff = "aff"; s = sprintf("%-*s %-*s %-*s %-11s
%-3s %3ld %8ld %5ld %5ld %3ld %11ld %6ld %7ld %13ld %ld", 23, aff, 8, aff, 23,
aff, aff, aff, j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j); printf("|%s|\n", s); exit() }'
parse error: invalid or missing conversion specifier
        saw: string '%-*s %-*s %-*s %-11s %-3s %3ld %8ld %5ld %5ld %3ld %11ld
%6ld %7ld %13ld %ld' at <input>:1:48
     source: probe begin { j = 10; aff = "aff"; s = sprintf("%-*s %-*s %-*s
%-11s %-3s %3ld %8ld %5ld %5ld %3ld %11ld %6ld %7ld %13ld %ld", 23, aff, 8, aff,
23, aff, aff, aff, j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j,j); printf("|%s|\n", s); exit() }

The above seem to fail in my case. This works fine when i run it as plain c
code. Did i miss something obvious?(In reply to comment #1)
