            Bug ID: 30647
           Summary: scanf functions wrong on nan()
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.37
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: stdio
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vincent-srcware at vinc17 dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

On a string input containing "nan()" with parentheses (possibly with
n-char-sequence), the scanf functions assume that the subject sequence is just
"nan". Note that strtod is correct, i.e. it takes the parentheses into account.

Consider the following testcase:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

static void test_strtod (const char *s)
{
  char *endptr;
  double d;

  printf ("strtod test on %s\n", s);
  d = strtod (s, &endptr);
  printf ("d = %g \"%s\"\n", d, endptr);
}

int main (void)
{
  int r;
  double a, b, c;

  test_strtod ("nan*");
  test_strtod ("nan()*");

  r = sscanf ("nan nan() 1", "%lf%lf%lf", &a, &b, &c);
  printf ("sscanf return value: %d\n", r);
  if (r >= 1)
    printf ("a = %g\n", a);
  if (r >= 2)
    printf ("b = %g\n", b);
  if (r >= 3)
    printf ("c = %g\n", c);

  r = fscanf (stdin, "%lf%lf%lf", &a, &b, &c);
  printf ("fscanf return value: %d\n", r);
  if (r >= 1)
    printf ("a = %g\n", a);
  if (r >= 2)
    printf ("b = %g\n", b);
  if (r >= 3)
    printf ("c = %g\n", c);
  return 0;
}

I get the following output with GNU libc 2.31 and 2.37 on Debian:

$ printf "nan nan() 1" | ./naninput
strtod test on nan*
d = nan "*"
strtod test on nan()*
d = nan "*"
sscanf return value: 2
a = nan
b = nan
fscanf return value: 2
a = nan
b = nan

instead of

strtod test on nan*
d = nan "*"
strtod test on nan()*
d = nan "*"
sscanf return value: 3
a = nan
b = nan
c = 1
fscanf return value: 3
a = nan
b = nan
c = 1

(as obtained with MacOS X 12.6 and Android 13).
