RE: CR/NL problem with cpp.exe

["Dan Vasaru" <dvasaru at broadpark dot no>]

Nick, please refer to:

"How is the DOS/Unix CR/LF thing handled?" in the cygwin faq:
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC72
Also, read the documentation for the "mount" utility and the CYGWIN
environment variable setting.

If you want to make sure that the input to your "cpp" is translated no
matter the file access mode (which depends on the mount mode for files and
CYGWIN variable for pipes), I believe you need to make sure that the input
is set to text mode:
- when opening a file, add the text mode to the open calls:
    o fopen(..., "rt")
    o open(..., O_..... | O_TEXT)
- when reading text from stdin:
    o setmode (0, O_TEXT) // 0 is the file descriptor for stdin
.

Dan

Correction: I meant NOT being concatenated.
