There is no need to construct a special format string.
printf allows you to specify the precision using a parameter (that precedes the value)
if you use a .* as the precision in the format tag.

For example:

printf ("%d %.*s", number, SIZE, letters);

Go to Project -> Properties -> C/C++ General -> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, etc. -> Providers -> CDT GCC built-in compiler settings, deactivate Use global provider shared between projects and add the command line argument -std=c++11.

:%s/foo/bar/g        Find each occurrence of 'foo' (in all lines), and replace it with 'bar'. 

:s/foo/bar/g         Find each occurrence of 'foo' (in the current line only), and replace it with 'bar'. 

:%s/foo/bar/gc       Change each 'foo' to 'bar', but ask for confirmation first. 

:%s/\<foo\>/bar/gc   Change only whole words exactly matching 'foo' to 'bar'; ask for confirmation.

                     This may be wanted after using :set noignorecase to make searches case sensitive (the default).

Mit der Column Address Strobe Latency (englisch, kurz CL oder CAS Latency), auch Speicherlatenz genannt, wird die Verzögerung zwischen der Adressierung in einem DRAM-Baustein und der Bereitstellung der an dieser Adresse gespeicherten Daten bezeichnet. Die CL gibt an, wie viele Taktzyklen der Speicherbaustein benötigt, um die während des CAS gelieferten Daten zu verarbeiten, bevor er weitere Befehle entgegennehmen, bzw. das Ergebnis mitteilen kann. Je höher der CL-Wert, desto mehr Taktzyklen werden für die Verarbeitung benötigt, womit auch die davon abhängende Verzögerung größer wird.
