Subject: Scanf behavior
Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 09:12:46 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <010e01c2cecc$22200810$39140b0a@amthinking.net> (raw)

I was looking at addressing bug #189 on bugzilla which calls for scanf
to respect field_widths for numeric arguments (i.e. %2hd)
2 semantic issues I thought of:

1) Should the field width ignore any number modifiers ( '0x' for hex,
'0' for octal, '-' for negatives) ?
For example a field_width of 1 on the string "0x5F" should return 0 or
0x5 
(I would think the latter is much more appropriate).

2) What about a field_width of 0? Always return 0?

Thanks,
--James
