#2813 printf missing in (standalone) NASAL interpreter??

[waldo kitty]

using the standalone nasal binary in FG's bin directory, printf seems to be missing... i've not tried this from within FG using the nasal console...

using the attached nas file, i get the following output:

In hexadecimal, 100000 = 186A0
Runtime error: undefined symbol: printf
  at /home/myuser/fg/next/install/flightgear/fgdata/Nasal/nasaltest1.nas, line 4
  called from: /home/myuser/fg/next/install/flightgear/fgdata/Nasal/nasaltest1.nas, line 1

yes, there's a defect in the example line given but i corrected it in my attached test file...

i don't know what happened to the link to the wiki page that i put in the original report above :(
here it is again but raw this time instead of trying to use the link function...

Just checked, the printf function just calls sprintf, but that alias is defined by FGData/Nasal/globals.nas, which of course is not loaded by standalpone Nasal.

So, in standalone, use sprintf, is the answer. (or just everywhere, I guess, since it always works)
