Gordon Sim commented on QPID-3206:
----------------------------------
Suggested change to retain behaviour of older gcc:
https://reviews.apache.org/r/596/
> Variant converts from negative number in string format to unsigned integer
> without error
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-3206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3206
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: C++ Broker, C++ Client
> Affects Versions: 0.8, 0.10
> Reporter: Gordon Sim
> Assignee: Gordon Sim
> Fix For: 0.11
>
>
> E.g.
> uint16_t i = 0;
> qpid::types::Variant v = "-5";
> i = v;
> The above results in an exception in older versions of gcc (e.g. 4.1.2) but
> sets i to 65531 on later versions (e.g. 4.4.4). This is a result of a fix to
> the gcc std library to be compliant with specification which requires
> stringstream to accept negative values even for unsigned ints (which is the
> behaviour of scanf).
