------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2007-08-06 04:56 ------- If I add a check for errors:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Input in hex two integers x and y." << endl; int x, y; if(!cin) cout << "error" << endl; cin >> hex >> x >> y; if(!cin) cout << "error" << endl; else cout << "y: " << y << "x: " << x << endl; } ---- Then I get this behavior: Input in hex two integers x and y. aaaaaaaa error If I enter less than 8 digits, it gets accepted. -- pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component|c++ |libstdc++ GCC build triplet|gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 | |(Red Hat 3.4.6-3) | GCC host triplet|linux.cs.uvic.ca | GCC target triplet|linux.cs.uvic.ca | Summary|cin fails to allow input to |cin and hex input (==8 |be entered |digits gets rejected) Version|unknown |3.4.6 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33000
