The following code demonstrates the bug.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ios::sync_with_stdio(false);
streambuf *s=cin.rdbuf();
int c=s->sgetc();
s->pubseekoff(0,ios::cur,ios::in);
cout << s;
}
When the resulting executable is run with standard input coming
(for example) a pipe, the first 8191 bytes of input are not
replicated to standard out.
Expected behaviour is for pubseekoff to fail, but not to throw
away buffered data in the process.
If sync_with_stdio(false) is not called, the program behaves
as expected.
If sgetc() is not called on the streambuf, the program behaves
as expected.
If standard input is redirected from a file, then pubseekoff
does not fail, and the output is as expected.
Compiler output and a demonstration:
$ g++ -v --save-temps -o bug bug.cc
Using built-in specs.
