Defect Report UK 015: Consistency of the C Standard
The change to the n conversion specifier in subclause 7.9.6.2 made by TC1, Defect Report #014, Question 2, should also be applied to subclause 7.9.6.1. Change:
No argument is converted.
to:
No argument is converted, but one is consumed.
If the conversion specification with this conversion specifier is not one of %n, %ln, or %hn, the behavior is undefined.
In addition, an entry something like:
A %n conversion specification for the fprintf or fscanf functions is not one of %n, %ln, or %hn (7.9.6.1, 7.9.6.2).
should be added to Annex G.2.
