It's the implementor's responsibility to get it -right. (An implementor might use a simple refcount class.)</li> -<li>Compromise between the two: an implementation is not allowed to -throw if the string's length is less than some N, but, if it doesn't -throw, the string must compare equal to the argument.</li> -<li>Add a new constructor that takes a const char*</li> -</ul> - -<p>(Not all of these options are mutually exclusive.)</p> - -<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p> -<p><b>Rationale:</b></p> - -<p>Throwing a bad_alloc while trying to construct a message for another -exception-derived class is not necessarily a bad thing.

A consistent strategy, in which any kind of extraction +failure leaves the input item intact, is conceptually cleaner, is able to avoid +corner-case traps, and is also more understandable from the programmer's point +of view. +</p> +<p> +Here is a quote from <i>"The C++ Programming Language (Special Edition)"</i> +by B. Stroustrup (Section D.4.2.3, pg. 897): +</p> +<blockquote><p> +<i>"If a value of the desired type could not be read, failbit is set in r. +[...] An input operator will use r to determine how to set the state of its +stream. If no error was encountered, the value read is assigned through v; +otherwise, v is left unchanged."</i> +</p></blockquote> +<p> +This statement implies that <code>rdstate()</code> alone is sufficient to +determine whether an extracted value is to be assigned to the input item +<i>val</i> passed to <code>do_get</code>. However, this is in disagreement +with the current C++ Standard. The above-mentioned assumption is true in all +cases, except when there are mismatches in digit grouping. In the latter case, +the parsed value is assigned to <i>val</i>, and, at the same time, <i>err</i> +is assigned to <code>ios_base::failbit</code> (essentially "lying" about the +success of the operation). Is this intentional? The current behavior raises +both consistency and usability concerns. +</p> +<p> +Although digit grouping is outside the scope of <code>scanf</code> (on which +the virtual methods of <code>num_get</code> are based), handling of grouping +should be consistent with the overall behavior of scanf. The specification of +<code>scanf</code> makes a distinction between input failures and matching +failures, and yet both kinds of failures have no effect on the input items +passed to <code>scanf</code>. A mismatch in digit grouping logically falls in +the category of matching failures, and it would be more consistent, and less +surprising to the user, to leave the input item intact whenever a failure is +being signaled. +</p> +<p> +The extraction of <code>bool</code> is another example outside the scope of +<code>scanf</code>, and yet consistent, even in the event of a successful +extraction of a <code>long</code> but a failed conversion from +<code>long</code> to <code>bool</code>. +</p> +<p> +Inconsistency is further aggravated by the fact that, when failbit is set, +subsequent extraction operations are no-ops until <code>failbit</code> is +explicitly cleared. Assuming that there is no explicit handling of +<code>rdstate()</code> (as in <code>cin>>i>>j</code>) it is +counter-intuitive to be able to extract an integer with mismatched digit +grouping, but to be unable to extract another, properly-formatted integer +that immediately follows. +</p> +<p> +Moreover, setting <code>failbit</code>, and selectively assigning a value to +the input item, raises usability problems. Either the strategy of +<code>scanf</code> (when there is no extracted value in case of failure), or +the strategy of the <code>strtol</code> family (when there is always an +extracted value, and there are well-defined defaults in case of a failure) are +easy to understand and easy to use. On the other hand, if <code>failbit</code> +alone cannot consistently make a difference between a failed extraction, and a +successful but not-quite-correct extraction whose output happens to be the same +as the previous value, the programmer must resort to implementation tricks. +Consider the following example: +</p> +<pre> int i = old_i; + cin >> i; + if (cin.fail()) + // can the value of i be trusted? + // what does it mean if i == old_i? + // ... +</pre> +<p> +Last but not least, the current behvaior is not only confusing to the casual +reader, but it has also been confusing to some book authors. Besides +Stroustrup's book, other books (e.g. "Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales" by +Langer and Kreft) are describing the same mistaken assumption. Although books +are not to be used instead of the standard reference, the readers of these +books, as well as the people who are generally familiar to <code>scanf</code>, +are even more likely to misinterpret the standard, and expect the input items +to remain intact when a failure occurs. +</p> + + +<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p> + +<p> +Change 22.2.2.1.2 [facet.num.get.virtuals]: +</p> + +<blockquote> +<p> +<b>Stage 3:</b> The result of stage 2 processing can be one of +</p> +<ul> +<li>A sequence of <code>chars</code> has been accumulated in stage 2 that is converted (according to the rules of <code>scanf</code>) to a value of the type of <code><i>val</i></code>. <del>This value is stored in <code><i>val</i></code> and <code>ios_base::goodbit</code> is stored in <code><i>err</i></code>.</del></li> + +<li>The sequence of <code>chars</code> accumulated in stage 2 would have caused <code>scanf</code> to report an input failure. <code>ios_base::failbit</code> is assigned to <code><i>err</i></code>.</li> </ul> <p> -<del>[<i>Note:</i> this implies that <code>sizeof(std::decimal::decimal32) == 4</code>, <code>sizeof(std::decimal::decimal64) == 8</code>, and <code>sizeof(std::decimal::decimal128) == 16</code>. <i>--end note</i>]</del> +<ins>In the first case,</ins> <del>D</del><ins>d</ins>igit grouping is checked.

Because of the if condition testing for +<code>(<i>err</i> == 0)</code>, the extractor won't set +<code>failbit</code> (and presumably, return a bogus value to the +caller). +</p> +<p> +Another problem with the code is that it never actually sets the +argument to the extracted value. It can't happen after the call to +<code>setstate()</code> since the function may throw, so we need to +show when and how it's done (we can't just punt as say: "it happens +afterwards"). However, it turns out that showing how it's done isn't +quite so easy since the argument is normally left unchanged by the +facet on error except when the error is due to a misplaced thousands +separator, which causes <code>failbit</code> to be set but doesn't +prevent the facet from storing the value. +</p> + + +<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p> +<p> +</p> + + + + + </body></html>

And likewise, once the +MoveConstructible and MoveAssignable requirements (N1860) have made it +into the Working Draft, it seems undesirable to define the Swappable +requirement in terms of those requirements. Instead, it appears +preferable to have the Swappable requirement defined exclusively in +terms of the existence of an appropriate swap function. +</p> +<p> +Section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable] of the current Working Draft (N2009) +says: +</p> +<blockquote><p> +The Swappable requirement is met by satisfying one or more of the +following conditions:</p> +<ul> +<li> +T is Swappable if T satisfies the CopyConstructible requirements +(20.1.3) and the Assignable requirements (23.1); +</li> +<li> +T is Swappable if a namespace scope function named swap exists in the +same namespace as the definition of T, such that the expression +swap(t,u) is valid and has the semantics described in Table 33. +</li> +</ul> +</blockquote> +I can think of three disadvantages of this definition: +<ol> +<li> +If a client's type T satisfies the first condition (T is both +CopyConstructible and Assignable), the client cannot stop T from +satisfying the Swappable requirement without stopping T from +satisfying the first condition. +<p> +A client might want to stop T from satisfying the Swappable +requirement, because swapping by means of copy construction and +assignment might throw an exception, and she might find a throwing +swap unacceptable for her type. On the other hand, she might not feel +the need to fully implement her own swap function for this type. In +this case she would want to be able to simply prevent algorithms that +would swap objects of type T from being used, e.g., by declaring a +swap function for T, and leaving this function purposely undefined. +This would trigger a link error, if an attempt would be made to use +such an algorithm for this type. For most standard library +implementations, this practice would indeed have the effect of +stopping T from satisfying the Swappable requirement. +</p> +</li> +<li> +A client's type T that does not satisfy the first condition can not be +made Swappable by providing a specialization of std::swap for T. +<p> +While I'm aware about the fact that people have mixed feelings about +providing a specialization of std::swap, it is well-defined to do so. +It sounds rather counter-intuitive to say that T is not Swappable, if +it has a valid and semantically correct specialization of std::swap. +Also in practice, providing such a specialization will have the same +effect as satisfying the Swappable requirement. +</p> +</li> +<li> +For a client's type T that satisfies both conditions of the Swappable +requirement, it is not specified which of the two conditions prevails. +After reading section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable], one might wonder whether +objects of T will be swapped by doing copy construction and +assignments, or by calling the swap function of T. +<p> +I'm aware that the intention of the Draft is to prefer calling the +swap function of T over doing copy construction and assignments. Still +in my opinion, it would be better to make this clear in the wording of +the definition of Swappable. +</p> +</li> +</ol> +<p> +I would like to have the Swappable requirement defined in such a way +that the following code fragment will correctly swap two objects of a +type T, if and only if T is Swappable: +</p> +<pre> using std::swap; + swap(t, u); // t and u are of type T. +</pre> +<p> +This is also the way Scott Meyers recommends calling a swap function, +in Effective C++, Third Edition, item 25. +</p> +<p> +Most aspects of this issue have been dealt with in a discussion on +comp.std.c++ about the Swappable requirement, from 13 September to 4 +October 2006, including valuable input by David Abrahams, Pete Becker, +Greg Herlihy, Howard Hinnant and others. +</p> + +<p><b>Proposed resolution:</b></p> +<p> +Change section 20.1.4 [lib.swappable] as follows: +</p> +<blockquote><p> +The Swappable requirement is met by satisfying +<del>one or more of the following conditions:</del> +<ins>the following condition:</ins></p> +<ul> + +<li> +<del>T is Swappable if T satisfies the CopyConstructible requirements +(20.1.3) and the Assignable requirements (23.1);</del> +</li> +<li> +<del> +T is Swappable if a namespace scope function named swap exists in the +same namespace as the definition of T, such that the expression +swap(t,u) is valid and has the semantics described in Table 33. +</del> +T is Swappable if an unqualified function call swap(t,u) is valid +within the namespace std, and has the semantics described in Table 33. +</li> +</ul> +</blockquote> + + +<p><b>Rationale:</b></p> +<p> +Recommend NAD.
