[Boost-users] [date_time] Delimiters are ignored

23 Dec 2009

      Hello, All!

Why the following code works while input string has wrong delimiters and too 
large value of seconds?

#include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <locale>

int main() {
        std::string str("08a02b61    15c10d2008");
        std::istringstream is(str);
        is.imbue(std::locale(is.getloc(),
            new boost::posix_time::time_input_facet(
            "%H:%M:%S %d/%m/%Y")));

        boost::posix_time::ptime ptime;
        is >> ptime;
        if (is)
                std::cout << ptime << "\n";
        else
                std::cout << "Error\n";
}

It outputs:
2008-Oct-15 08:03:01
