[gtk-server] Re: Formatting floats (Was: gtk-server Digest V5 #3)

Reading the GLib docs:

http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-String-Utility-Functions.html#g-snprintf
The 'g_snprintf' function and friends are very similar to the default libc functions, so why not give it a shot with GLIB? This is more portable also. Then it would look like: 

gtk_server_define g_sprintf NONE NONE 3 WIDGET STRING DOUBLE

or

gtk_server_define g_snprintf NONE NONE 4 WIDGET INT STRING DOUBLE


On my Linux system:

peter@host:~$ gtk-server -stdin
gtk_server_define g_sprintf NONE NONE 3 WIDGET STRING DOUBLE
ok
gtk_server_opaque
7301168
g_sprintf 7301168 "%.2f" 1.234
ok
gtk_server_define g_printf NONE NONE 2 STRING WIDGET
ok
g_printf "%s\n" 7301168
1.23
ok

Please let me know if it works!

Regards
Peter

I have the same issue on my 64bit system. Can you please send me the output of the following: 

echo "gtk_server_ffi" | gtk-server -stdin


FFI


echo "gtk_server_version" | gtk-server -stdin


2.2 build 7


uname -a


Windows XP Professional SP2 ;-)

I'm also using CLISP 2.45.
While I'm a Unix man by heart I'm actually targetting the application I'm writing at Windows (it will be a utility for a game I'm playing[1]) since the target audience is mainly using that platform.
I should have been more clear about that, sorry :-( Would it still be worth it to try the sprintf / printf solution you posted on the Windows platform?
