Zig Version

0.10.0-dev.1933+5f2d0d414

Steps to Reproduce

const std = @import("std");

test "" {
    const f = try std.fmt.parseFloat(f64, ".");
    try std.testing.expect(f == 0);
}

$ zig build test

Expected Behavior

I would expect this test to fail at the parseFloat call.

Actual Behavior

$ All 1 tests passed.

I added this test case in #11727 but could not reproduce this issue.

Your zig version is slightly out of date. A new float-parser has been recently implemented in master which fixes this issue: see #11566.

The following is true as of current; try testing.expectError(error.InvalidCharacter, parseFloat(f64, "."));.
