digitalmars.D.bugs - [Issue 11007] New: std.format.formattedRead with %*s specifier causes AssertError

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11007

           Summary: std.format.formattedRead with %*s specifier causes
                    AssertError
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: ttanjo gmail.com



The following code throws AssertError with the message "format.d(3790): Format
specifier not understood: %s" in dmd v2.064-devel-fe5dfc5 on Linux 64bit.
It should throw an exception (not Error) or should be accepted.

---
import std.format;

void main()
{
    string str = "foo bar buzz";
    string a, b;
    formattedRead(str, "%s %*s %s", &a, &b);
}
---

If we use "%*d" instead of "%*s", it runs without errors.
