[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43640] mkoctfile -M infinite loop on arm64

[Sébastien Villemot]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #43640 (project octave):

I confirm this issue. Actually it affects all architectures where char is
unsigned (which means ARM, PowerPC and several other less popular platforms in
Debian).

On those archs, since char is unsigned, in function get_line of
src/mkoctfile.in.cc, "c" can never be equal to EOF (because EOF is -1). Hence
the infinite loop.

I attach the patch that I applied to the Debian package.

(file #32580)
