I would love to see this functionality in libstdc++ (and in boost), too. I had about this in the past already an attempt for getting this into libstdc++, but also there it was rejected due outstanding c++-0x feature question. The only chance I might see here is by having conditional code for mingw target via config/os/mingw... part. And have this feature in code conditional. There is also another issue about libstdc++, which needs to be addressed too. Internally libstdc++ assumes that prinf/scanf routines are POSIX. This isn't necessarily true for native windows targets. AFAIK is mingw.org's header-set here using for c++ case then static functions to enforce the use of the inernal POSIX-variants. Mingw-w64 uses for those macros, so libstdc++ will use here always msvcrt's printf/scanf routines (as libstdc++ undefines by default C-runtime header macros for those functions). So it would be best to make sure that libstdc++ uses here internally for mingw targets the __mingw_... prefixed printf/strto... functions. So user can still choose, if (s)he wants to use POSIX or native API.
