>Description:
The strptime(3) function succeeds with input that it should fail on according to the given format string.
Excerpt from the strptime(3) manpage:
It returns NULL if one of the conversions failed.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile and run this test program. strptime() should obviously fail on input 'March' cause format '%d'
is not satisfied.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct tm tm;
char *date="March";
char *test=strptime(date, "%B %d", &tm);
if(test)
printf("Broken\n");
else
printf("OK\n");
return 0;
}
