The use of "1$", "2$" et al in printf format specifiers is a
POSIX-specific feature.
On Cygwin (newlib) this is handled correctly in most cases, but one
example I tried misbehaves.
The output is correct on other implementations, including glibc and
musl on Ubuntu.
This C program:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
long long a = 123456789876543210;
double b=1.0/3;
printf("a:%2$8.8lld b:%1$10.2g\n", b, a);
}
should produce this output:
a:123456789876543210 b: 0.33
Under Cygwin (fully updated), with "gcc c.c -o c && ./c", the output is:
a:140732550844138 b: 7.1e-315
