Kernel#sprintf doesn't apply format sequence in some encodings

Bug #18958: Kernel#sprintf doesn't apply format sequence in some encodings

Added by andrykonchin (Andrew Konchin) about 4 years ago. Updated almost 4 years ago.

Description

I've noticed that sprintf does nothing (at least for %f) when format string is in the following encodings:

  • UTF-16
  • UTF-16BE
  • UTF-16LE
  • UTF-32
  • UTF-32BE
  • UTF-32LE
  • UCS-2BE
  • UCS-4BE
  • UCS-4LE
  • IBM037
  • ebcdic-cp-us

Example:

format = "%10.4f".encode("UTF-32")
sprintf(format, 12.34)
# => "\uFEFF%10.4f"

I agree with raising exception when the format string is not ASCII compatible.

@naruse (Yui NARUSE), @nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada), and @matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) agreed that it should raise an exception if the format string is not ASCII-compatible.
