            Bug ID: 18246
           Summary: scanf "%2d" can incorrectly parse "0x" same for "%2f"
                    with "1e"
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

BZ #1765 was closed with won't fix, 0x is another similar corner case.

0x prefix should not be parsed as a valid decimal number.

following code prints:
got 1 fields (x=0), expected 0
got 1 fields (y=1), expected 0


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x;
float y;
int r;

r = sscanf("0x12", "%2d", &x);
if (r != 0)
        printf("got %d fields (x=%d), expected 0\n", r, x);

r = sscanf("1e12", "%2f", &y);
if (r != 0)
        printf("got %d fields (y=%g), expected 0\n", r, y);
}
