I am facing a very weird problem of fread in VC6.0.
I have a binary file and use following testing code try to read in as
bytes
It works correctly in Linux and the final statement show the right
number
of bytes the program read in.
However, exact same code runs on windows read only few bytes and
thinks it reach the end of file. Do I miss something when I use fread
in windows?
Any idea can share?
Thanks.

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int numBytes = 0;
char junk[1];
FILE *fpin = fopen( argv[1], "r+t");
if(fpin == NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open file %s \n", argv[1]);
perror("Input file open failed\n");
return -1;
}
printf("file name is %s\n", argv[1]);
while(!feof(fpin))
{
if(fread(junk,1,1, fpin) == 1)
numBytes++;
}
printf("EOF reached after %d bytes read in!!!\n", numBytes);
return 0;

You were mentioning about a binary file and you are opening in text mode
here.
FILE *fpin = fopen( argv[1], "rb");
should do the trick.

No, actually you are reading it as a text file. The "t" in "r+t" most
explicitly says it is a text file, in addition to that being the
default. Open it as a binary file and you should be OK.

As others have already pointed that you are not opening the file in binary
mode.
It does not work on Windows because Ctrl-Z(0x1A) is regarded as EOF in text
mode. Same is not the case on Unix (no EOF indicator) hence it works there. Your
byte stream might have contained this character.
Additionally CRLF character sequence is considered as newline, Unix considers
only LF as newline.
