(with-test-prefix "format"

  ;; in guile 1.6.4 and earlier, excess arguments were an error, but this
  ;; changed to follow the common lisp spec
  (pass-if "excess arguments ignored A"
    (string=? (format #f "" 1 2 3 4) ""))
  (pass-if "excess arguments ignored B"
    (string=? (format #f "~a ~a" 1 2 3 4) "1 2")))

(with-test-prefix "~d decimal integer"

  (with-test-prefix "~@d"

    (pass-if "-1"
      (string=? (format #f "~@d" -1) "-1"))

    ;; in guile 1.6.4 and earlier, ~@d gave "0" but we think "+0" is what the
    ;; common lisp spec intendes
    (pass-if "+0"
      (string=? (format #f "~@d" 0) "+0"))

    (pass-if "+1"
      (string=? (format #f "~@d" 1) "+1"))))

(with-test-prefix "~f fixed-point"

  (pass-if "1.5"
    (string=? "1.5" (format #f "~f" 1.5)))
  
  ;; in guile prior to 1.6.9 and 1.8.1, leading zeros were incorrectly
  ;; stripped, moving the decimal point and giving "25.0" here
  (pass-if "string 02.5"
    (string=? "2.5" (format #f "~f" "02.5"))))

(with-test-prefix "~{ iteration"

  ;; In Guile 1.6.4 and earlier, the maximum iterations parameter defaulted
  ;; to 100, but it's now like Common Lisp where the default is no limit
  (pass-if "no arbitrary iteration limit"
    (= (string-length (format "~{~a~}" (make-list 200 #\b))) 200)))
