[libc++] Fix leading zeros in std::to_chars
ClosedPublic

Authored by ivafanas on Jun 8 2019, 7:19 AM.

Details

Summary

It is a bugfix proposal for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42166.

std::to_chars appends leading zeros if input 64-bit value has 9, 10 or 11 digits.
According to documentation std::to_chars must not append leading zeros:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/to_chars

Changeset should not affect std::to_chars performance:

Unit test that std::from_chars supports compatibility for both std::to_chars outputs (previous and fixed one) already exists:
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/libcxx/blob/1f60111b597e5cb80a4513ec86f79b7e137f7793/test/std/utilities/charconv/charconv.from.chars/integral.pass.cpp#L63

The example in the bug doesn't work: std::to_chars(buf, buf + 100, (unsigned long)0xffffffff).

Edit: it outputs 0004294967295.

Hi,

Hmm, are you sure?
I've just tested fixed version of std::to_chars and std::to_chars(buf, buf + 100, (unsigned long)0xffffffff) produces 4294967295 as expected.

May be you didn't recompile implementation before run lit tests?

I like the refactoring. I suggest not to drop existing (possibly redundant) tests.

libcxx/src/charconv.cpp
67

I suggest to use if here to align "append1" and "append2" closer to the condition

if (v < 10)
    return append1(buffer, v);
else
    return append2(buffer, v);

PS: I like the way how clang-format splits ternary operators,

return v < 10 ? append1(buffer, v)
              : append2(buffer, v);

but here this line is too short to receive the above formatting.

76

Ditto, and else if should be enough (to align all calls to start from the same column).

79

I suggest to make these new routines templates as well, so even someone changes the logic in actually formatting code slightly "wrong," the code can still behave correctly.

119

Can you keep the static_cast?

136

Can you keep the empty line after this line?

libcxx/test/std/utilities/charconv/charconv.to.chars/integral.pass.cpp
40

Please keep these tests, because it's a sane test for ensuring omitting the "base" argument means base 10.

69

Ditto.

Yep, you're right. I applied the patch but forgot to recompile. Sorry for the false alarm. This patch looks good to me :)

Do not understand, sorry.
There are already empty lines before and after buffer = append4_no_zeros(buffer, a);

LGTM, thanks. I have more tests that I'll be adding in the next week or so, but no reason to hold this up for them.
