[Bug target/37624] [4.4 Regression]: 22_locale/num_get/get/char/10.cc



------- Comment #6 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com  2008-09-23 16:45 -------
Unfortunately, I think we have to "xfail" the test for targets not having
available strtold and falling back to sscanf for long double parsing. Note that
DR 23 mandates, for a reason, a behaviour equivalent to strtold, *not* sscanf,
because the latter is weaker as regards error checking, essentially. On many
targets, "6e " is successfully parsed by sscanf as 6, whereas with strtold we
can tell that not all the input is consumed and issue an error from the C++
library.
