[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #33330] fgets hangs octave when reading newline

[Rik]

Update of bug #33330 (project octave):

                  Status:               Confirmed => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #8:

Check Matlab's own documentation on this
(http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/import_export/import-text-data-files-with-low-level-io.html?#br4ssin).

In particular, I see:

"After each read operation, fgetl and fgets check the next character in the
file for the end-of-file marker. Therefore, these functions sometimes set the
end-of-file indicator before they return a value of -1."

and

"This behavior does not conform to the ANSI specifications for the related C
language functions"

So, I think we have to keep it.  We could restrict this only to files, rather
than sockets, if there is an easy way to tell that
