890900 - [compare-locales] review printf errors, at least multiple "%1$s %1$s" should be ok

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Localization Infrastructure and Tools :: compare-locales, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

bug 438688 allows to request the same parameter more than once, so "%1$s %1$s" should be legal.

Might be good to review the other constraints in Check.py, too.

Attachment: bug 890900, multiple %1$S in printf are OK,

This corresponds to bug 438688 and a GTEST like

  // Double referencing existing argument works
  out.Adopt(nsTextFormatter::smprintf(u"%1$S %1$S", u"1"));
  EXPECT_STREQ("1 1", NS_ConvertUTF16toUTF8(out).get());

from bug 1388789.

I'd test this if I had corresponding tests on the gecko impl,
but those are hard to get to.
