[libcxx-dev] Different behavior from stringstream::operator>>() in libc++ vs libstdc++

[Ryan S. Elliott via libcxx-dev]

Hello,

I've encountered inconsistent behavior in this case and I'm wondering if this 
is a bug (either in libc++ or libstdc++) or is a situation where the c++ 
standard allows for implementation dependent behavior?  Any comments would be 
appreciated!  Thanks.


The attached code "read-double.cpp" contains:

```
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>

int main()
{
   std::stringstream f("1.30429295CCC");
   double a;
   std::string b;

   if (!(f >> a).fail())
     std::cout << "Read double a as " << a << std::endl;
   else
     std::cout << "unable to read double a" << std::endl;

   f.clear();

   if (!(f >> b).fail())
     std::cout << "Read string b as " << b << std::endl;
   else
     std::cout << "unable to read string b" << std::endl;
}
```

When compiled with g++ it outputs:

% g++ read-double.cpp
% ./a.out
Read double a as 1.30429
Read string b as CCC

When compiled with clang++ it outputs:

% clang++ read-double.cpp
% ./a.out
unable to read double a
unable to read string b
