std::money_get::get() extracts too much whitespace

• Key: STDCXX-878
• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Minor
• Assignee: Unassigned
• Reporter: Farid Zaripov
• Component/s: 22. Localization
• Affects Version/s: 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.4, 4.2.0
• Fix Version/s: 4.2.2

Description

The 22.locale.money.get test fails with number of assertions.

The failed two checks:

Here the currency symbol contains space, but it's already extracted while processing none pattern.

    // all spaces extracted since currency symbol (last) is mandatory
    // verify that the facet doesn't extract too many optional spaces
    // leaving none for the final required currency symbol
    TEST (T,  103.0, "103 ", 4, showbase, eofbit, 0, "-1@$", " ");

Here the negative sign contains trailing space, but it's already extracted while processing none pattern.

    // { sign, value, none, symbol }
    // negative_sign is "- ", (note the single trailing space)
    // verify that the extraction suceeds, i.e., that the money_base::none
    // specifier that's last in the pattern doesn't confuse the facet into
    // extracting all the optional whitespace, leaving none to complete
    // the negative_sign
    TEST (T, -109.1, "-109  ", 6, 0, eofbit, 0, "-1@$", "");

I'm afraid that is not so much time left for 4.2.1 release and possibly this issue should be deferred until 4.2.2 or even later.

Deferred until 4.2.0 and estimated effort.
