Bug 12260 – Improve error of std.stdio.readf when involving whitespace

The following program will throw an exception on the second read. ------ void main() { import std.stdio; int input; readf("%s", &input); readf("%s", &input); } ------ The exceptions message points out the remaining newline from the first input: -------- conv.d(1901): Unexpected ' ' when converting from type LockingTextReader to type int -------- It should probably convert whitespace into a more recognizable form: ------- conv.d(1901): Unexpected '\n' when converting from type LockingTextReader to type int -------

Current version of d 2.67.1 will skip the \n, for example the program... ------ void main() { import std.stdio; int input; readf("%s", &input); readf("%s", &input); } ------ Given the input... ------ 1 2 ------ Will emit the error... ------ std.conv.ConvException@/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/conv.d(2013): Unexpected '2' when converting from type LockingTextReader to type int ------
