The parser throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException/ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException for some inputs

[wrandelshofer]

The parser throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException/ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException for some inputs.
For example with the following input: "0x".

This issue has been discovered in FasterXML/jackson-core#809

The only exceptions, that the parser may throw are:

• NumberFormatException when the input is illegal
• OutOfMemoryException when the JVM fails to allocate memory for objects created by the parser

Fixed in the following branches and revisions:

• branch: main, revision 69cdb36
• branch: java8, revision abefb0b
• branch: dev, revision cf26337

@wrandelshofer Do you plan a release with this fix (including a m2 central deploy?) Thanks

[wrandelshofer]

I haven't released a fix just for this issue, because I thought there was little interest in parsing hexadecimal floating point literals.

I am planning to make release and m2 central deploy after fixing issue #19.

@wrandelshofer thanks for all your hard work

We use your java8 code in jackson-core. If you publish a jar with your java8 branch code that would be great - we would change our build to use your published jars and that shades the class packages to include them in jackson-core jar.

One solution would be to append '-java8' to the artifact name (and '-java17' for the java17 jar). Or maven supports 'classifiers' which basically lead to a similar result.

Excellent. And it has been pushed to m2central (while 0.4.0 has not been pushed). Thx a lot!
