RE: [Dev-C++] possible bug of MinGW compiler

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

This line is being executed till it meets EOF:

while ((c =3D getc(input)) !=3D EOF)


That means it is being executed until you press ctrl-z in windows
systems. If you want to be executed per input try using '\n' too.

This is how it worked for me:

C:\c>temp
sdaff
^Z
n =3D 6   stdin
C:\c>
