           Summary: accept and ignore %l (long) option in *printf family
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sources.redhat.com
        ReportedBy: fche@redhat.com


Since we do expose the "long" term as a keyword here and there,
unwily users may think that stap numbers might as well be printed
as printf("%ld"), whereas all we accept only the pagan printf("%d").
Let's quietly consume the l in %ld and accept it, to reduce unwily
user surprise.
