boost::posix_time::time_from_string() terminates the program due to a failed assertion on certain inputs. Boost version used: 1.31.0. Compiler used: GCC 3.3.4. (All the tools come from pre-built Debian GNU/Linux packages.) I didn't find a fix for this problem in the latest change log. Running the attached test program (see the source) gives the following output: date_format_bug_demo: /usr/include/boost/token_iterator.hpp:59: const Type& boost::token_iterator<TokenizerFunc, Iterator, Type>::dereference() const [with TokenizerFunc = boost::char_delimiters_separator<char, std::char_traits<char> >, Iterator = __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<const char*, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>
, Type = std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >]: Assertion `valid_' failed. Aborted
I expected it to throw some descendant of a standard exception instead. Is it indeed the accepted policy in the Date_time library to always handle invalid input data by throwing an appropriate exception? Or are there cases where the input is intentionally assumed to be correct and is thus left unchecked? Thanks in advance! -- Alexander
