--- Comment #1 from Andrei Alexandrescu <[email protected]> 2011-05-09 09:18:02 PDT --- This is by design. The example works when modified as follows: import std.stdio; void main() { int i, j; readf("%s", &i); readf(" %s", &j); } The space before the second parameter tells readf to read and skip all whitespace before attempting conversion. I've implemented readf to be a fair amount more Nazi about whitespace than scanf in an attempt to improve its precision. Scanf has been famously difficult to use for complex input parsing and validation, and I attribute some of that to its laissez-faire attitude toward whitespace. I'd be glad to relax some of readf's insistence on precise whitespace handling if there's enough evidence that that serves most of our users. I personally believe that the current behavior (strict by default, easy to relax) is best. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
