Sorry for the comment, but I may be missing something obvious here:

Theoretically (and practically also), an EOF should *never* be compared
to a char: only to an int.

I would first read the character from getc, then see if it is EOF and,
depending on the comparison, do whatever is needed. Otherwise, I would
judge the code to be incorrect and losing precision in a case where such
precision should not be lost.
