I compiled the following program with dmd 2.052 on an Ubuntu 10.10 console.

The following program reads only the first code unit instead of the whole
character.

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    wchar c;         // Please note: same problem with dchar as well
    readf(" %s", &c);
    writeln(c);
}

For example when the input is the character ö (encoded with byte values 195 182
in UTF-8), only the first code unit is read and the output becomes the Unicode
character that corresponds to the value of that code unit.

In a sense, the program reads a code unit and outputs it as a code point.

Thank you,
Ali

This is marked as 'regression'. What previous version did it work with?

"regression" turns out to be my mistake. I just went back more than a dozen dmd
versions and see that std.stdio.readf (or File.readf) is pretty new.

I've been using std.cstream.din, which used to work better than stdio.readf.
Thinking that they must be using the same underlying format functions I thought
that this was a regression.
