Subject: [PATCH] Fix wrong EOF compare
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:05:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357797904-11194-1-git-send-email-minchan@kernel.org> (raw)

getc returns "int" so EOF could be -1 but storing getc's return
value to char directly makes the vaule to 255 so below condition
is always false.

It happens in my ARM system so loop is not ended, then segfaulted.
This patch fixes it.

                *curr = getc(fin); // *curr = 255
                if (*curr == EOF) return -1; // if ( 255 == -1)
