I've discovered that fread(ptr, size, nitems, stream) sometimes returns a value less than "nitems", but does not set feof() nor ferror(). As I understand, this is incorrect: All fread() documentation I've found confirms this. For example, IEEE Std 1003.1 says:
"Upon successful completion, fread() shall return the number of elements successfully read which is less than nitems only if a read error or end-of-file is encountered." I've only noticed the problem when using fread() on a pipe, and when setting a (another) file descriptor in the same application in close-on-exec mode. The details are on http://python.org/sf/1071516. I've been using the latest Cygwin (as of 2004-12-04) on Windows 98. To me, this looks like a Cygwin bug. Any ideas? /Peter Åstrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
