Hi
I was wondering if the current behavior of StringToInteger is perhaps a little bit too "friendly" - honestly I would have expected some exceptions on (IMHO) invalid input: Dec from '011b' : 3. Dec from '012b' : 1. ! Oct from '04711o' : 4711o Oct from '04811o' : 411o ! Hex from '08Ah' : 8ah Hex from '08A.' : 8h ! Hex from '08A' : 8h !!! This is my code: #include "integer.h" #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { std::cout << "Dec from '011b' : " << std::dec << CryptoPP::Integer("011b") << std::endl; std::cout << "Dec from '012b' : " << std::dec << CryptoPP::Integer("012b") << " !" << std::endl; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Oct from '04711o' : " << std::oct << CryptoPP::Integer("04711o") << std::endl; std::cout << "Oct from '04811o' : " << std::oct << CryptoPP::Integer("04811o") << " !" << std::endl; std::cout << "\n"; std::cout << "Hex from '08Ah' : " << std::hex << CryptoPP::Integer("08Ah") << std::endl; std::cout << "Hex from '08A.' : " << std::hex << CryptoPP::Integer("08A.") << " !" << std::endl; std::cout << "Hex from '08A' : " << std::hex << CryptoPP::Integer("08A") << " !!!" << std::endl; return 0; } It might be that the intention behind this originally was to accept additional characters like ":" or "-" in between for better readability (e.g. "31-65-30-63h" as "31653063h"). Out of my personal experience in the last days I would propose to limit this openess a little bit. Especially not allowing characters which are valid digits in one of the available notations might help prevent some (difficult to spot) usage error.
