Hi Michael, not a bug but maybe worthwhile to clarify. The man pages for the scanf() familiy of functions (scanf(), sscanf(), fscanf(), vscanf(), csscanf(), and vfscanf()) state that the conversion specifier 'i' accepts '0x' or '0X' as an indication for hex numbers. They do not mention, however, that the conversion specifiers 'x' and 'X' also accept (and discard) '0x' or '0X' as prefixes for hex numbers. This lets me wonder if the fact that my glibc version accepts (and discards) a 0x prefix in a 'X' conversion is merely a convenience that may disappear at some later point in time, or an intended feature on which a programmer may rely on.
