    Problem Text

    This failure is due to a shortcoming in the sample implementation
    provided by the X-Consortium.

    Here is the code from X11R6.1p1 xc/lib/Xt/Converters.c

    /*ARGSUSED*/
    Boolean XtCvtStringToFloat(dpy, args, num_args, fromVal, toVal, closure_ret)
    Display* dpy;
    XrmValuePtr args;
    Cardinal *num_args;
    XrmValuePtr fromVal;
    XrmValuePtr toVal;
    XtPointer *closure_ret;
    {
    float f;
    extern double atof();

    if (*num_args != 0)
    XtAppWarningMsg(XtDisplayToApplicationContext(dpy),
    XtNwrongParameters,"cvtStringToFloat",XtCXtToolkitError,
    "String to Float conversion needs no extra arguments",
    (String *) NULL, (Cardinal *)NULL);

    f = atof(fromVal->addr);
    done(float, f);
    }


    As you can see, no checking is done to see if the conversion (atof)
    actually succeeded or not.

    Does X/Open have a policy regarding bugs in the Sample Implementation
    as it comes from the X-Consortium?


    Test Output
    TEST CASE: XtCvtStringToFloat

    TEST PURPOSE #4
    Assertion XtCvtStringToFloat-4.(A)
    If the implementation is X11R5 or later: A call to Boolean
    XtCvtStringToFloat(display, args, num_args, from, to,
    converter_data) when the conversion is not performed due to
    an improper value specified in from shall issue a warning
    message and return False.
    PREP: Initialize toolkit, Open display and Create topLevel root widget
    PREP: Create windows for widgets and map them
    PREP: Get display
    PREP: Set up required conversion args
    TEST: Conversion fails
    ERROR: Expected XtCvtStringToFloat return value of 0, Received 1
    TEST: Warning handler is called
    ERROR: Expected calls to warning handler count of 1, Received 0
