    Submitter's Classification Test Suite problem
    State Resolved
    Resolution Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)

    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.5
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/awk 384
    Problem Summary TSD4C.00186 This test may fail on implementations where the sizeof(longs) used by the printf and awk utilities are different.
    Problem Text

    The test is comparing the output of:

    printf "< 1 0 %u >\n" -1

    to that of:

    awk 'BEGIN { printf "< %u %u %u >\n", " 1.0 ", " 0.00001 ", " -1.0 " }'\
    < /dev/null

    These results on our system are:

    $ awk 'BEGIN { printf "< %u %u %u >\n", " 1.0 ", " 0.00001 ", " -1.0 " }'\
    < /dev/null
    < 1 0 18446744073709551615 >
    $ printf "< 1 0 %u >\n" -1
    < 1 0 4294967295 >
    $

    awk is returning the correct value for a 64-bit unsigned long -1; printf
    the corresponding value for a 32-bit unsigned long -i. There is no
    requirement in POSIX.2 or in XCU4.2 that all utilities use the same
    long integer size.
