[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51871] loading '-ascii' format files is slow

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #32, bug #51871 (project octave):

OK.  Fine as is.

True about 'status' always being used if there is a fail, but most of the time
there is no fail, so it just saves a few cycles of not putting a value on the
stack unless it is needed.

>> There's no real reason is.get () would start returning a space (' ') on an
EOF or error case. Thus, the while loop will terminate eventually. 

I can't find anything about what happens if there is a fail, but not an EOF
type of fail, i.e., whether c1 is overwritten with something even if there is
'bad' stream.  Because c1 is initialized to ' ', if in the first is.get()
there is some bad read, could c1 stay at ' '?  What scenario is considered a
bad stream, I don't know.
