Hello,
Tried to compile and run the following C code on Windows (with
gcc/mingw-w64), and it crashed at the swscanf() call:
----
#define __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO 1
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(void)
{
wchar_t buf[] = L"1 2 3";
wchar_t field[10];
swscanf(buf, L"%ls", field); // crash
wprintf(L"%ls\n", field);
return 0;
}
----
This is not my original code. The original code is C++ which includes
a C++ header <cstdio> which indirectly defines __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO
(after multiple levels of includes), so originally I didn't define
this constant myself. At least the code here doesn't have C++
influences.
I assumed that, if __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO is defined to be 1, then the
Microsoft convention of interpreting %s" is suppressed and C99
convention rules. It applies to *printf() so I assumed it applies to
*scanf() as well. Instead the program crashed.
The swscanf() call still crashed with different specifiers: "%s", and "%S"
The compiler used were downloaded from here (5.4.0 and 6.4.0)

Regards,
David Lee.
