feof() is not very intuitive. In my very humble opinion, the FILE's end-of-file state should be set to true if any read operation results in the end of file being reached. Instead, you have to manually check if the end of file has been reached after each read operation. For example, something like this will work if reading from a text file using fgetc():
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *in = fopen("testfile.txt", "r");
while(1) {
char c = fgetc(in);
if (feof(in)) break;
printf("%c", c);
}
fclose(in);
return 0;
}
It would be great if something like this would work instead:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *in = fopen("testfile.txt", "r");
while(!feof(in)) {
printf("%c", fgetc(in));
}
fclose(in);
return 0;
}
