| Notes | ||||||||||
For every conversion specifier other thann, the longest sequence of input characters which does not exceed any specified field width and which either is exactly what the conversion specifier expects or is a prefix of a sequence it would expect, is what's consumed from the stream. The first character, if any, after this consumed sequence remains unread. If the consumed sequence has length zero or if the consumed sequence cannot be converted as specified above, the matching failure occurs unless end-of-file, an encoding error, or a read error prevented input from the stream, in which case it is an input failure. All conversion specifiers other than[,c, andn consume and discard all leading whitespace characters (determined as if by callingstd::isspace) before attempting to parse the input. These consumed characters do not count towards the specified maximum field width. The conversion specifierslc,ls, andl[ perform multibyte-to-wide character conversion as if by callingstd::mbrtowc with anstd::mbstate_t object initialized to zero before the first character is converted. The conversion specifierss and[ always store the null terminator in addition to the matched characters. The size of the destination array must be at least one greater than the specified field width. The use of%s or%[, without specifying the destination array size, is as unsafe asstd::gets. The correct conversion specifications for thefixed-width integer types (std::int8_t, etc) are defined in the header<cinttypes> (althoughSCNdMAX,SCNuMAX, etc is synonymous with%jd,%ju, etc). There is asequence point after the action of each conversion specifier; this permits storing multiple fields in the same “sink” variable. When parsing an incomplete floating-point value that ends in the exponent with no digits, such as parsing"100er" with the conversion specifier%f, the sequence"100e" (the longest prefix of a possibly valid floating-point number) is consumed, resulting in a matching error (the consumed sequence cannot be converted to a floating-point number), with"r" remaining. Some existing implementations do not follow this rule and roll back to consume only"100", leaving"er", e.g.,glibc bug 1765. If a conversion specification is invalid, the behavior is undefined. | ||||||||||
