Hi!
I've just been bitten by the famous Windows newline issue, i.e.
tried to read a textfile written by a windows application on
an unix platform. When reading a line with
std::getline(in put,buf);
GCC 3.2 leaves a trailing '\r' in buf.
Is this standard conformant? My impression was that getline
should remove '\r\n' as well as '\n'.
Thanks in advance & regards
frank

Assuming the program is running on a system that uses \n as the
line terminator (such as every unix I've heard of) then yes.
When you transfer text files between systems you need to convert them
to the destination systems format. The line terminator is the most
obvious conversion, but occassionaly there are character set issues too.

It is conformant AFAIK. A platform only needs to be prepared for its own
file format.

Only if (a) you opened the file in text mode and *not* in binary mode,
and (b) your platform defines CR LF as a newline (like windows,
but not like unix or mac).

Not on unix. On unix \n is just LF, so that is all that is
removed. The CR windows put there is not part of a unix newline,
and is left alone. If you want it removed you must do so
yourself.

Ah, I feared so.

I have been reading through C++ Programming Fundamentals, and have come a

It said:
"The getline function allows you to specify how many bytes you will get from
the users input. Each character the user's types takes up one byte. So if,

I'm trying to read a whole file as a single string, using the getline()
function, as in the example below. I can't tell what I'm doing wrong.
Tried g++ 3.2, 3.4 and 4.0. Thanks!

i use std::getling to read a line in unicoude file to buffer,like:
WCHAR buf
wifstream in;
std::getling(buf,in,100);
but i can't get the right result,it seems can only read by 1 byte;e.g first
word of unicode file is "0xfffe" ,if use getline ,it may 0x00ff 0x00fe in my
buffer
do you have any idea,except use c lib like fgetws

Hi,
I have some code which parses a text file and creates objects based on
what is in the text file. The code works just fine on Windows, but when
I compile it using XCode on OS X the parsing goes all wrong. Is there
some known differences with file handling on OS X?
My code is quite long, but one of the defect parts looks like this

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
