[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45263] printf with %X is broken

[Paul Mielke]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #45263 (project octave):

The same error happens with %x as well. I have tested this with Octave 4.0.0
built from source on a Ubuntu 14.04 64bit system and see the same behavior
that Tom reports, so it is not specific to the Windows implementation.

Here are my results showing the difference between 3.8.1 (installed from the
Ubuntu distro) versus the 4.0.0 built from source:

Here is what happens on 3.8.1:

>>  s = "123"
s = 123
>> sprintf("%X", s(1))
ans = 31
>> sprintf("%x", s(1))
ans = 31
>> version
ans = 3.8.1
>>

Now try this on 4.0.0:

octave:96>  s = "123"
s = 123
octave:97> sprintf("%X", s(1))
ans = 49
octave:98> sprintf("%x", s(1))
ans = 49
octave:99> version
ans = 4.0.0
octave:100>
