... have nothing to do with char; getc() has more legitimate return values than char can represent. No matter whether it's signed or unsigned, if you have ... char c; ... c = getc(); you have a bug - Dirichlet Principle bites you anyway. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
