This is more of a question of curiosity but does anyone know how negative precision values are handled in C++? For example:
double pi = 3.14159265;
cout.precision(-10);
cout.setf(ios::fixed, ios::floatfield);
cout << pi << endl;
I've tried this out and using GCC and it seems that the precision value is ignored but I was curious if there is some official line on what happens in this situation.
