| Description: |
`format %s` functions correctly when byte compiled but not with direct eval. ``` % set s [testbigdata string 0x100000000] ; string length $s 4294967296 % string range [format %s $s] end-9 end 6789012345 % set format format format % string range [$format %s $s] end-9 end max size for a Tcl value exceeded ``` | |||

Fixed in [0cb8f90d77]. apnadkarni added on 2023-04-09 16:36:24: A variant, where the format string itself is long, does not work in either compiled or uncompiled modes. ``` % set s [testbigdata string 0x100000000] ; string length $s 4294967296 % append s %s ; string length $s 4294967298 % string length [format $s X] max size for a Tcl value exceeded % string length [$format $s X] max size for a Tcl value exceeded ``` Further, large values for precision and width raise the same error. | |||
