Re: v5.22.0: Redundant argument in %s versus minimum width in sprintf

[Anonymous Monk]

ATM http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/sprintf.html#%28minimum%29-width says Perl 5 version 20.1 documentation

https://metacpan.org/pod/perlfunc#sprintf-FORMAT-LIST is ATM v5.22.0 current

The introduction Bug #121025 for perl5: printf warns about too few arguments, but not too many
Add a new warning about redundant printf arguments

I guess its a bug in the warnings ...

bugs like this are frequent ( not testing stuff thats in the documentation, then it breaks)

But then again http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/t/op/sprintf.t

647 >%y<        >''<          >%y INVALID REDUNDANT<
648 >%z<        >''<          >%z INVALID REDUNDANT<
649 >%2$d %1$d<     >[12, 34]<      >34 12<
650 >%*2$d<         >[12, 3]<       > 12 REDUNDANT<
651 >%2$d %d<       >[12, 34]<      >34 12<
652 >%2$d %d %d<    >[12, 34]<      >34 12 34<
653 >%3$d %d %d<    >[12, 34, 56]<  >56 12 34<
654 >%2$*3$d %d<    >[12, 34, 3]<   > 34 12<
655 >%*3$2$d %d<    >[12, 34, 3]<   >%*3$2$d 12 INVALID REDUNDANT<

It also happens frequently that stuff gets implemented by those who don't understand how it works .... so this needs a new bug on rt because one of these things is wrong , whichever one it is
