Sounds like the implementation is looking for a literal "true" or "false", and is forgetting to skip leading ws. This works: import std.conv; import std.stdio; void main() { auto str = "123 456.7 false"; auto i = parse!int(str); auto d = parse!double(str); str = str[1..$]; //manually skip ws. auto b = parse!bool(str); assert(i == 123); assert(d == 456.7); assert(b == false); } I can look into it for next week, unless somebody else solves it by then.

Comment #3 by monarchdodra — 2012-09-26T14:36:53Z
FYI, parse!int also has the same problem. Only floating point types seem to behave correctly: import std.conv; import std.stdio; void main() { auto str = "456.7 123"; auto d = parse!double(str); auto i = parse!int(str); assert(d == 456.7); assert(i == 123); } On the split side, to! seems to parse things it should actually be rejecting: import std.conv; import std.stdio; void main() { auto str = "456.7 123"; auto d = to!double(" 456.7"); //Passes, but shouldn't auto i = to!int(" 123"); //Correctly throws } Just logging here the bugs I find, still on this.

(In reply to comment #3) > FYI, parse!int also has the same problem. Only floating point types seem to > behave correctly: NO, this is just a bug in `T parse!T(input) if (isFloatingPoint!T)`. The parse function family should not skip leading white spaces implicitly. I think it is simple, no special cases, and flexible design.
