Hello Ioannis,

I do not know C99, but I seem to get that the "strange" part
of the C99 code you wrote is the format used: "s" is a (sort of) 
integer and one can't print it as a string. 

I'm more concerned about the second piece of code, as I happen to 
use C89 and C++98). It looks OK to me for both the languages, could 
you shed some light on why it is not C++98?

TIA
