I'm getting an int value of -80 returned by getc(), whereas fgetc() returns 176 for the same input character. This seems to be caused by the definition of getc() in cygwin/usr/include/mingw/stdio.h, which is:
__CRT_INLINE int __cdecl getc (FILE* __F) { return (--__F->_cnt >= 0) ? (int) *__F->_ptr++ : _filbuf (__F); } The _ptr field is of type char* (not unsigned char*). A definition of getc() I found elsewhere is: #define getc(_stream) (--(_stream)->_cnt >= 0 \ ? 0xff & *(_stream)->_ptr++ : _filbuf(_stream)) which and's in the 0xff to get the unsigned value. This seems to have become broken in a recent gcc. Shouldn't this be fixed, or am I misunderstanding something? -David S.
