I have the following Zig snippet:
var buffer: [20]u8 = undefined; const precise_string = std.fmt.bufPrint(&buffer, "{d:.d}", .{ max, precision }) catch unreachable; std.debug.print("{}", .{precise_string.len}); I get this error:
zig test src/root.zig /snap/zig/12539/lib/std/fmt.zig:294:13: error: extraneous trailing character '{' @compileError("extraneous trailing character '" ++ unicode.utf8EncodeComptime(ch) ++ "'"); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /snap/zig/12539/lib/std/fmt.zig:155:55: note: called from here const placeholder = comptime Placeholder.parse(fmt[fmt_begin..fmt_end].*); ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know the source of the error is the format specifier string, but I am not able to figure out how to fix it, what the actual problem is. I expected it would place the value of max at the start of the string and then after :. it would place the precision value.
