When you run an application that calls the _sntscanf_s function, the call should return an EOF(-1) value. However, when you run the application on Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB, the injected null character is ignored. This causes the numFields field to receive an erroneous value of 1 instead of the EOF (-1) value.
For example, this issue occurs in the following Visual C++ application:
#include "stdafx.h" #include "string.h" #include "stdlib.h" int main() { TCHAR szBuff[256]; double temp = 0; wcscpy_s(szBuff, L"77777777"); // this should force the _sntscanf_s to return an EOF (-1) value szBuff[0] = '\0'; int numFields = _sntscanf_s(szBuff, _countof(szBuff), _T("%lf"), &temp); if (numFields == EOF) { printf("Correct Behavior!!!\r\n"); } else { printf("BUG: _sntscanf_s failed to return EOF!!!\r\n"); } return 0; }
