In this Defect Report, identifiers lexically identical to those
declared in standard headers refer to the identifiers declared in those
standard headers, whether or not the header is explicitly mentioned.
This Defect Report has been prepared with considerable help from
Mark Brader, Jutta Degener, Ronald Guilmette, and a person whose
employment conditions require anonymity. However, except where stated,
opinions expressed or implied should not be assumed to be those of any
person other than myself.
Defect Report UK 023: Correction to Technical Corrigendum 1
An example added by TC1 is wrong.
TC1 added the following example to subclause 7.9.6.2:
In:
#include stdio.h
/* ..... */
int d1,
d2, n1, n2, i;
i = sscanf("123", "%d%n%n%d", &d1, &n1,
&n2, &d2);
the value 123 is assigned to d1 and the
value 3 to n1. Because %n can never
get an input failure the value of 3 is also assigned to n2.
The value of d2 is not affected. The value 3 is
assigned to i.
This should set i to 1, not 3, as %n
does not affect the returned assignment count.
Suggested Technical Corrigendum
In the example, change:
The value 3 is assigned to i.
to:
The value 1 is assigned to i.
