Hey me-from-the-past. Here is you-from-the-future. Stop using %i. I know you\’re used to it because your re-implementation of printf for your own x86 microkernel had only %i for printing numbers instead of the standard %d. I know as well that even in my world, printing %d and printing %i produces the same result, but listen, here\’s the catch:
scanning for %i enables automated base conversion while scanning for %d guarantees digits are interpreted as decimal numbers and nothing else. You don\’t want \”${width}x${height}\” to fail being recognized by \”%ix%i\” just because it looks so much like a single hex number as soon as width is null, right ?
right.
So stay safe, and stop using it.
