This is in preparation for some major refactoring.

Most of the fscanf() tests are pure garbage, as they don't actually test what they are claiming to do.
They mostly test fprintf() and/or casting various values to string on top of how PHP parses integers/floats.

As such, I suggest deleting the majority of these nonsensical tests and then write some tests that actually try to examine the behaviour of {f|s}scanf().

TODO and or follow-up:

  • Redo all tests parsing integers/floats

…printf

This effectively tests scanning an empty file line or a file line only containing '1', which is already handled by the string tests
A bunch of the test cases are testing the language scanner rules rather than fscanf
This is in preparation for some major refactoring as the current error messages are non-sensical
