Proposed resolution:
Change the current wording of [string.conversions] p. 15 to:
Returns:
eEach function returns a wstring object holding the character representation of the value of its argument that would be generated by callingwsswprintf(buf, bufsz, fmt, val) with a format specifier fmt of L"%lld", L"%ulld", or L"%f", respectively, where buf designates an internal character buffer of sufficient size bufsz.
[Hint to the editor: The resolution also adds to mention the name of the format specifier "fmt"]
I also would like to remark that the current wording of it's equivalent paragraph 7 should also mention the meaning of buf and fmt.
Change the current wording of [string.conversions] p. 7 to:
Returns:
eEach function returns a string object holding the character representation of the value of its argument that would be generated by calling sprintf(buf, fmt, val) with a format specifier fmt of "%lld", "%ulld", or "%f", respectively, where buf designates an internal character buffer of sufficient size.
The return clause [string.conversions] paragraph 15 of the new to_wstring overloads says:
Returns: each function returns a wstring object holding the character representation of the value of its argument that would be generated by calling wsprintf(buf, fmt, val) with a format specifier of L"%lld", L"%ulld", or L"%f", respectively.
Problem is: There does not exist any wsprintf function in C99 (I checked the 2nd edition of ISO 9899, and the first and the second corrigenda from 2001-09-01 and 2004-11-15). What probably meant here is the function swprintf from <wchar.h>/<cwchar>, but this has the non-equivalent declaration:
int swprintf(wchar_t * restrict s, size_t n, const wchar_t * restrict format, ...);
therefore the paragraph needs to mention the size_t parameter n.
