Bug 000319

When Created: 05/04/2000 22:00:52
Against DJGPP version: 2.03
By whom: bdh5336@fsu.edu
Abstract: error handling hexadecimal data
i think this is a djgpp problem . . . sorry if not.

when compiled in djgpp, the c++program below fails to handle
hexadecimals properly.

------------------------------------------------------------

// bitwise: do bitwise operations with hex numbers

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(int nArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
  // set format to hex
  cout.setf(ios::hex);

  // input first
  cout << "Enter first argument as a four-digit hex: ";
  int nFirst;
  cin >> nFirst;

  // input second
  cout << "Enter second argument: ";
  int nSecond;
  cin >> nSecond;

    // calculate & output results
  cout << "\n";
  cout << "argument1 & argument2 = 0x"
       << (nFirst & nSecond) << "\n";
  cout << "argument1 | argument2 = 0x"
       << (nFirst | nSecond) << "\n";
  cout << "argument1 ^ argument2 = 0x"
       << (nFirst ^ nSecond) << "\n";

  // end program
  return 0;

}

------------------------------------------------------------

the first argument is entered, but instead of collecting the second
argument from the user, the program assumes a value of zero and
contunues with the final output, as below.

------------------------------------------------------------

Enter first argument as a four-digit hex: 0x1234
Enter second argument:
argument1 & argument2 = 0x0
argument1 | argument2 = 0x0
argument1 ^ argument2 = 0x0

------------------------------------------------------------

any guidance toward working around this problem will be much appreciated.
thanks.

Try following:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main (void)
{
   int First;
   string tmp;
   cin >> First;
   cin >> tmp;
   cout << tmp;
   return 0;  
}	   

And enter 0x1234 at prompt. You'll see x1234 as value of tmp. So
'cin >> First;' stops reading when encounters 'x'. (However I tested this
under Linux only and got similar results from the first example above)

According to similar testing made by Salvador Eduardo Tropea, the test
program behaves the same on Linux and on DOS.  So this is not a bug,
certainly not a DJGPP bug.  The hex read operation does not grok the
"0x" prefix, that's all.

I'm closing this bug report.

Closed on 05/20/2000 12:12:32: Usage error, not a bug.
