Discussion:
Formatted input is defined for the typesshort,unsigned short,int,unsigned int,long,unsigned long,float,double,long double,bool, andvoid*. According to section 27.6.1.2.2,formatted input of a valuex is done as if by the following code fragment:
typedef num_get< charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = 0; use_facet< numget >(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, val); setstate(err);
According to section 28.3.4.3.2.2[facet.num.get.members], however,num_get<>::get() is only overloaded for the typesbool,long,unsigned short,unsignedint,unsigned long,unsigned long,float,double,long double, andvoid*. Comparing the lists from the two sections, we findthat 27.6.1.2.2 is using a nonexistent function for typesshort andint.
Proposed resolution:
In 31.7.5.3.2[istream.formatted.arithmetic] Arithmetic Extractors, remove thetwo lines (1st and 3rd) which read:
operator>>(short& val);...operator>>(int& val);
And add the following at the end of that section (27.6.1.2.2) :
operator>>(short& val);The conversion occurs as if performed by the following code fragment (using the same notation as for the preceding code fragment):
typedef num_get< charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = 0; long lval; use_facet< numget >(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, lval); if (err == 0 && (lval < numeric_limits<short>::min() || numeric_limits<short>::max() < lval)) err = ios_base::failbit; setstate(err);operator>>(int& val);The conversion occurs as if performed by the following code fragment (using the same notation as for the preceding code fragment):
typedef num_get< charT,istreambuf_iterator<charT,traits> > numget; iostate err = 0; long lval; use_facet< numget >(loc).get(*this, 0, *this, err, lval); if (err == 0 && (lval < numeric_limits<int>::min() || numeric_limits<int>::max() < lval)) err = ios_base::failbit; setstate(err);
