I posted the following and still no comment. I think they agree
(silence is golden). The previous articles made their option
clear. Anyone not thinking so, please follow-up the article or one of
its siblings in the newsgroup. Hence we do have a bug in *scanf(). (No
I'm not volunteering to correct it.)


Right,

Let's see if I got this now.

``sscanf("", "%*[0123456789]%*c");'' should return EOF (input
failure).

``sscanf("X", "%*[0123456789]%*c");'' should return 0 as there's not
an input failure but a matching failure.

``sscanf("1", "%*[0123456789]%*c");'' should return EOF as there's a
input failure after matching ``1''.

``sscanf("1X2", "%*[0123456789]%*[0123456789]"'' should return 0 as
there's a matching failure after matching ``1''.


Right?
