Bug ID: 89696 Summary: A potential bug with read() when parsing number from string Product: gcc Version: 8.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: libfortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: kevin at fai dot host Target Milestone: --- For this bug I report, I report two bugs. One could be a potential bug while the other should for certainly be a bug. These bugs affect both, gfortran version 7.3.0 and gfortran version 8.2.0. Bug one(Potential bug): When using the read() procedure for parsing a string to an integer type, strings, where valid digits follow by whitespaces and then any other character, are parsable. I don't think they should be parsable as those strings are not valid number strings. For example: 1. " 12 b " >> will become 12 2. " 124 c " >> will become 124 Bug two: It is not possible to assign the lowest value to any integer type without having no range check disable as the compiler will give false warning. For example -2147483648 can't be assigned to int32, -9223372036854775808 can't be assigned to int64, and -170141183460469231731687303715884105728 couldn't be assigned to int128.
