feof 作为循环判断条件的问题

>My program is reading the last line of data from an infile twice.
I'll bet my next paycheck that your file processing loop looks like this:

while ( !feof ( in ) ) {
  /* Read from the file and process */
}

while ( !feof ( in ) ) { /* Read from <strong class="highlight"><vb_highlight>the</strong></vb_highlight> <strong class="highlight">file</strong> and process */ }

Or this:

while ( !in.eof() ) {
  // Read from the file and process
}

while ( !in.eof() ) { // Read from <strong class="highlight"><vb_highlight>the</strong></vb_highlight> <strong class="highlight">file</strong> and process }

The problem with that is feof (or stream.eof ) only returns true after an attempt has been made to read from the file and end-of-file was encountered. So your loop will iterate once more than you want, and because the input request failed you will use the last successfully read line. The result is that the last line of the file is processed twice.

The solution is to use the return value of your input function as the loop condition:

while ( fgets ( line, sizeof line, in ) != NULL ) {
  /* Process and print */
}

while ( fgets ( line, sizeof line, in ) != NULL ) { /* Process and print */ }

Or

while ( getline ( in, line ) ) {
  // Process and print
}

while ( getline ( in, line ) ) { // Process and print }

As an alternative, you can use an infinite loop and use feof or stream.eof in an if statement immediately after your input functions read from the file. That way you can break from the loop before processing the last line twice.
