Additional information:

Affects CVS-HEAD. I dunno if also 4.0.2, but it seems possible.

Guess this is a gnu extension to strftime then ... Damn! the info page even
says so.

Perhaps you know, how would I get unpadded day numbers, i.e 'Dec 3' instead
of 'Dec 03'? Preferably without #ifdef's ;-)

Comment 3 edscott 2003-12-17 15:49:15 CET

By default C format will not pad. Thus,
printf ("%s %d","Dec",3); yields "Dec 3"
printf ("%s %2d","Dec",3); yields "Dec 3"
printf ("%s %02d","Dec",3); yields "Dec 03"

But that would have to be within strftime then, which apparently uses %02d for
%d and %2d for %e, and *no* option to get plain %d behaviour.
Maybe you could use a wrapper function which acts on the return of strftime.
Something like using %e for the day field and:

strftime(date,...);
for (i=0;i<strlen(date)-1;i++){
if (*(date+i)=' ' && *(date+i+1)=' ')
g_strchug(date+i+1);
}

Made it %d for now. Perhaps I'll get back to it later.
