Running the Phobos unittest fails in .109:

> Error: AssertError Failure format(730)

This is where it tests the %A format...


Actual results are: (with extra printfs)
> putreal 1.67
> format = '%*.*Lg', n = 4
> putreal -1.28
> format = '%*.*LA', n = 21
> putreal nan
> format = '%*.*Lg', n = 3

The assert doesn't output anything useful
like it does in C, but I added some printf:

> RESULT: 1.67 -0XA.3D70A3D70A3D8P-3 nan
> EXPECT: 1.67 -0X1.47AE147AE147BP+0 nan

The error seems to be in the real conversion:

> printf("%A\n%LA\n", -1.28, cast(real) -1.28);
outputs:
> -0X1.47AE147AE147BP+0
> -0XA.3D70A3D70A3D8P-3

The other unittests in the library succeeded.


For some reason, "make unittest" doesn't set
the -unittest flag when compiling Phobos... ?
