Dear g++ programers:
  I just tried a piece simple c++ code, copied from c++ primer plus book(5ed, pg221), but it failed to compile, because EOF was not declared in this scope
plz help!

textin4.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
textin4.cpp:9: error: ‘EOF’ was not declared in this scope
root@eric-laptop:/home/eric/cpppp5# cat textin4.cpp
// textin4.cpp -- reading chars with cin.get()
#include <iostream>
int main(void)
{
  using namespace std;
  int ch;                   // should be int, not char
  int count = 0;

  while ((ch = cin.get()) != EOF)  // test for end-of-file
  {
       cout.put(char(ch));
       ++count;
  }
  cout << endl << count << " characters read\n";
  return 0;
}
