When I´m creating a file like (supposed to be an empty file) :
> cat >file.txt
Ctrl-\
And close immediately with Ctrl-\ (0x1C on Amiga)
The file.txt is not empty file but contains a line feed char (0x0A).
This is illogic like the test program joined (and this can lead to hard to find behavior "in programmer life also").
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
// Close the input stream just after with Ctrl-\
// and it will NOT print that it is EndOfFile !
// We think this is due to a linefeed(LF) insertion before close of the DOS stream in : con-handler
int main() {
int c = getchar();
if ( c == EOF ) printf ("*** End Of File ***\n");
else printf("char %d\n", c);
}

Post scriptum : if the bug is in con-handler it can be a rapid fix to upload the separated file I.e. con-handler on a place where everyone can download it(expecting a new update of AmigaOS).
