From karl@freefriends.org

This is a bug report for perl from karl@​freefriends.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.22.0.

The perlfunc doc (aka http​://perldoc.perl.org/functions/sprintf.html)
has this example​:

  printf '<%*2$s>', "a", 6; # prints "< a>"

Running it with perl -w, in perl 5.22.0, produces a warning​:

  Redundant argument in printf at try.pl line 1.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but it sure seems like both
arguments are being used; the a is the value and the 6 is the field
width. So the warning seems incorrect. Help?

Thanks,
Karl (karl@​freefriends.org)

I agree.

Relevant documentation from pod/perldiag.pod and pod/perlfunc.pod (blead)​:

#####
=item Redundant argument in %s

(W redundant) You called a function with more arguments than other
arguments you supplied indicated would be needed. Currently only
emitted when a printf-type format required fewer arguments than were
supplied, but might be used in the future for e.g. L<perlfunc/pack>.
#####
Between the C<%> and the format letter, you may specify several
additional attributes controlling the interpretation of the format.
In order, these are​:

=over 4

=item format parameter index

An explicit format parameter index, such as C<2$>. By default sprintf
will format the next unused argument in the list, but this allows you
to take the arguments out of order​:

  printf '%2$d %1$d', 12, 34; # prints "34 12"
  printf '%3$d %d %1$d', 1, 2, 3; # prints "3 1 1"
...
=item (minimum) width

Arguments are usually formatted to be only as wide as required to
display the given value. You can override the width by putting
a number here, or get the width from the next argument (with C<*>)
or from a specified argument (e.g., with C<*2$>)​:

printf "<%s>", "a"; # prints "<a>"
printf "<%6s>", "a"; # prints "< a>"
printf "<%*s>", 6, "a"; # prints "< a>"
printf '<%*2$s>', "a", 6; # prints "< a>"
printf "<%2s>", "long"; # prints "<long>" (does not truncate)
#####
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the report. I agree that it's incorrect for Perl to emit
this warning.

This patch against blead is currently smoking as smoke-me/arc/rt125469​:

From​: Aaron Crane <arc@​cpan.org>
Date​: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16​:35​:11 +0100
Subject​: [PATCH] sv_vcatpvfn_flags()​: make warnings more precise

- RT#125469 points out that no "redundant argument" warning should be emitted
  for code like C<< printf '<%*2$s>', "a", 6 >>; that's now fixed.

- We no longer emit a "missing argument" warning for invalid format strings,
  so C<< printf '%4$K %d', 17 >> now emits one "invalid" warning, and no
  other warnings. (Perl 5.12 and subsequent versions have inappropriately
  emitted a "missing argument" warning in this case.)

- We no longer treat the invalid format string in C<< printf '%1$$d', 17 >>
  as containing an explicit index, so (a) we emit an "invalid" warning for
  the double "$", and (b) we emit a "redundant argument" warning for the
  trailing argument. The "redundant argument" warning is new in this
  situation.

I also believe that this bug is a regression that warrants a fix in maint\, hopefully to be released as part of 5\.22\.1\. However\, my blead patch is unsuitable for that purpose\, as it will also yield additional warnings for some other code\. \(It ensures that an invalid format specification is never treated as containing an explicit argument index\, so code like C\<\< printf '%1$$d'\, 17 >> will get a "redundant" warning for the 17\, as well as an "invalid" warning for the malformed '%1$$d'\.\) So I'm also smoking this simpler patch as smoke\-me/arc/rt125469\-maint\, in the expectation that it could be applied to maint​:

From​: Aaron Crane <arc@​cpan.org>
Date​: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 16​:55​:14 +0100
Subject​: [PATCH] sv_vcatpvfn_flags()​: no "redundant arg" warnings for '%*2$d'

This addresses RT#125469​: if the format string uses an explicit index for a
field width, that should suppress any "redundant argument" warnings, in
just the same way as an explicit index does when used to specify a format
argument.

Blead has a more careful reworking of the way printf warnings work, but that
change is unsuitable for maint, as it can lead to additional warnings being
emitted for some invalid format strings. This smaller change ensures that
maint (5.22.1-to-be) always emits strictly fewer warnings than 5.22.0.

I also believe that this bug is a regression that warrants a fix in
maint, hopefully to be released as part of 5.22.1. However, my blead
patch is unsuitable for that purpose, as it will also yield additional
warnings for some other code. (It ensures that an invalid format
specification is never treated as containing an explicit argument
index, so code like C<< printf '%1$$d', 17 >> will get a "redundant"
warning for the 17, as well as an "invalid" warning for the malformed
'%1$$d'.) So I'm also smoking this simpler patch as
smoke-me/arc/rt125469-maint, in the expectation that it could be
applied to maint​:

This has now been applied to maint-5.22, ready for release in 5.22.1, by the following commit​:

http​://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/802475c8d28a32d1dfca9e93e7c06560c1483093

And it looks like the blead change was applied to blead a while back by this commit​:

http​://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/082ce9c667e6d73783164fa1abab61806b678b4f

I'm therefore changing the status to 'pending release'.
