It doesn't make sense to pass grouping_mark = "", but if you do, read_csv() hangs.

This was introduced by readr 2.0.

I picked up the 'bug' when reading dates and times, but just having the hyphen in col 1 reproduces the issue:

f <- tempfile(fileext=".csv")

writeLines("x,y
1-2,2
2-4,3", f)

readr::read_csv(f, locale = readr::locale(grouping_mark = ""))

It should probably just throw a warning/error for other silly users like me trying to use "" as a grouping mark 😄

Thank you for opening the issue and for supplying a reproducible example, it is a big help!

Thanks @jimhester. But in practice I am afraid the bug is still present as readr loads the CRAN version of vroom, not the dev version from GitHub. Or am I totally wrong?

netbsd-srcmastr pushed a commit to NetBSD/pkgsrc that referenced this issue May 1, 2022
# vroom 1.5.7

* Jenny Bryan is now the official maintainer.

* Fix uninitialized bool detected by CRAN's UBSAN check
  (tidyverse/vroom#386)

* Fix buffer overflow when trying to parse an integer field that is
  over 64 characters long
  (tidyverse/readr#1326)

* Fix subset indexing when indexes span a file boundary multiple times
  (#383)

# vroom 1.5.6

* `vroom(col_select=)` now works if `col_names = FALSE` as intended (#381)

* `vroom(n_max=)` now correctly handles cases when reading from a
  connection and the file does _not_ end with a newline
  (tidyverse/readr#1321)

* `vroom()` no longer issues a spurious warning when the parsing needs
* to be restarted due to the presence of embedded newlines
* (tidyverse/readr#1313) Fix performance
* issue when materializing subsetted vectors (#378)

* `vroom_format()` now uses the same internal multi-threaded code as
  `vroom_write()`, improving its performance in most cases (#377)

* `vroom_fwf()` no longer omits the last line if it does _not_ end
  with a newline (tidyverse/readr#1293)

* Empty files or files with only a header line and no data no longer
  cause a crash if read with multiple files
  (tidyverse/readr#1297)

* Files with a header but no contents, or a empty file if `col_names =
  FALSE` no longer cause a hang when `progress = TRUE`
  (tidyverse/readr#1297)

* Commented lines with comments at the end of lines no longer hang R
  (tidyverse/readr#1309)

* Comment lines containing unpaired quotes are no longer treated as
  unterminated quotations
  (tidyverse/readr#1307)

* Values with only a `Inf` or `NaN` prefix but additional data
  afterwards, like `Inform` or no longer inappropriately guessed as
  doubles (tidyverse/readr#1319)

* Time types now support `%h` format to denote hour durations greater
  than 24, like readr (tidyverse/readr#1312)

* Fix performance issue when materializing subsetted vectors (#378)


# vroom 1.5.5

* `vroom()` now supports files with only carriage return newlines
  (`\r`). (#360, tidyverse/readr#1236)

* `vroom()` now parses single digit datetimes more consistently as
  readr has done (tidyverse/readr#1276)

* `vroom()` now parses `Inf` values as doubles
  (tidyverse/readr#1283)

* `vroom()` now parses `NaN` values as doubles
  (tidyverse/readr#1277)

* `VROOM_CONNECTION_SIZE` is now parsed as a double, which supports
  scientific notation (#364)

* `vroom()` now works around specifying a `\n` as the delimiter (#365,
  tidyverse/dplyr#5977)

* `vroom()` no longer crashes if given a `col_name` and `col_type`
  both less than the number of columns
  (tidyverse/readr#1271)

* `vroom()` no longer hangs if given an empty value for
  `locale(grouping_mark=)`
  (tidyverse/readr#1241)

* Fix performance regression when guessing with large numbers of rows
  (tidyverse/readr#1267)
