Yes, I see two different problems here. You can generate output with time_put<>::put for which there is no matching time_get<> method for parsing that data. What I mean is that you can easily format "%S %p" onto the stream, but there is no method in the time_get<> facet for reading that formatted data back. The stdcxx implemention provides an extension that allows you to do this, but it's an extension. The other problem is the one that I'm more concerned about. >I don't remember ever >having problems with spaces though. Yeah, that is the problem. It is my interpretation that this is a requirement, but I'm not sure that anyone agrees with me on this. I don't really see the point in defining a system for input/output of times and dates if you can't read in the values that you write out. >On Linux at least, stdcxx >has no problems skipping leading space in time strings. That is inconsistent with what I'm seeing.

I get failures in each of them with various locales. I attached my testcase to another post in this thread [http://tinyurl.com/2qp7py].
