Re: [RFC] PR5820: two CTRL-D are not enough?!?

In article <3CA6FE7D.7000200@unitus.it> you write:

> This is the original testcase:

On i386-*-freebsd4.5 with g++ 3.1 20020329, only 1 EOF (may be CTRL-D)
is required.  g++ 3.1 20020125 on sparc-sun-solaris2.7 runs the same.

; ./a.out 
Enter an integer: [1 2 RET]

std::cin.eof()=0
The number was: 12
[EOF]
; ./a.out 
Enter an integer: [EOF]Unexpected read problem

I am confused why more than one EOF would ever be required for this
test case, given the meaning of EOF and that this case never attempts
to explicitly reset the state of cin (i.e. yes it is possible to clear
EOF state and force more input to be read but this case doesn't do that).

Interestingly enough, both i386-*-freebsd4.5 and sparc-sun-solaris2.7
define _GLIBCPP_AVOID_FSEEK.  Correlation?

Loren
