.SH APPLICATION USAGE
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the integer value returned by \fIgetchar\fP() is stored into a
|
|
variable of type \fBchar\fP and then compared against the
|
|
integer constant EOF, the comparison may never succeed, because sign-extension
|
|
of a variable of type \fBchar\fP on widening to
|
|
integer is implementation-defined.
