Summary0001163: fscanf omits carriage in the list of white space character directives
Descriptionfscanf lists the white space characters it skips when encountering a blank:

Each directive is composed of one of the following: one or more white-space characters ( <space>, <tab>, <newline>, <vertical-tab>, or <form-feed>);

This list does not include carriage-return. I think this is an omission.

The equivalent text in ISO/IEC 9899:2011 (E) (C9x) is

The format is composed of zero or more directives: one or more white-space
characters,

Desired ActionAdd carriage-return to the list of white-space characters.

It is not clear to me if this list is locale-dependent -- making
this locale-dependent would allow the meaning of format strings to
be manipulated externally, which conceivably may pose a security risk.

The fwscanf page has the same problem.

This is a mirror of ISO C DR 497 (http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/summary.htm#dr_497). This bug should be resolved in the same way as that DR, and so is held open pending resolution by WG14.

The link in 0001163:0004231 seems to point to an outdated version of the WG14 defect report log.
DR 497 has already been resolved in the latest version at http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2316.htm#dr_497

I believe the following changes match the changes adopted by the C committee in DR 497 (at the link given in note 0001163:0004235), and fix related problems where we use "character" but should use "byte" (because the C standard says "character" not "multibyte character"). There are also some changes to strptime() for consistency.

On page 104 line 2874 section XBD 3.442 White Space, change:
defined via the LC_CTYPE category in the current locale
to:
defined via the LC_CTYPE category in the current locale or a specified locale

On page 104 line 2877 section XBD 3 Definitions, add three new definitions:
3.443 White-Space Byte

A single-byte white-space character; that is, a character for which the isspace() or isspace_l() function returns a non-zero value.

3.444 White-Space Character

A character that belongs to the space character class as defined via the LC_CTYPE category in the current locale or a specified locale.

3.445 White-Space Wide Character

A wide-character code that belongs to the space character class as defined via the LC_CTYPE category in the current locale or a specified locale.

On page 2065 line 66220 section strptime(), change:

On page 2277 line 72488 section wcstol(), change:
The subject sequence is defined as the longest initial subsequence of the input wide-character string, starting with the first non-white-space wide-character code that is of the expected form.
