Subject: [Bug 61511] New: scanf man page is misleading re out-of-range integer conversions
Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2013 20:04:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-61511-11311@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61511
Bug ID: 61511
Summary: scanf man page is misleading re out-of-range integer
conversions
Product: Documentation
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: man-pages
Assignee: documentation_man-pages-ztI5WcYan/vQLgFONoPN62D2FQJk+8+b@public.gmane.org
Reporter: arequipeno-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org
Regression: No
Unless I'm missing it, the scanf man page doesn't really specifically address
the result of an out-of-range integer conversion -- e.g.
sscanf("9999999999999999999999999999999", "%d", &i).
The ERRORS section, however, says this:
ERANGE The result of an integer conversion would exceed the size that
can be stored in the corresponding integer type.
This is definitely *not* the behavior that I'm seeing. Instead, sscanf is
returning 1 and -1 is assigned to i.
