import std.stdio: readf, writef, writeln;
void main() {
    int x = 5;
    writef("Give x: ");
    readf("%d\n", &x);
    writeln("\nx: ", x);
}


If there is no input (because that program is called by another one), readf leaves x unchanged and doesn't raise an exception. I think this is not good.

-------------

Another problem: on Windows if you run that program from the console, and you just hit enter, you are allowed to keep giving lines. Is this by design?

...>test
Give x:

555
123
155

readf returns the number of arguments filled in.

I don't think an exception is the correct path -- that is too assuming of readf.


I think the second problem you raise is a valid concern.

The second problem is now fixed.
Regarding the first problem, I don't like a lot the fact that readf doesn't
throw an exception. But something like this seems to fix my problem, so I close
this bug report:

enforce(readf("%d\n", &x));
