How should an ada compiler act when it finds an "ill-formed"
text file? As an example, on the Win32 platform, it is VERY
easy to create a text file (with a brain-dead editor like notepad)
that does not terminate the final line of the file with
CR/LF before the EOF is reached.
What should a compiler do when an user tries to do a
text_io.get_line on this final line of the file? One
compiler that we use raises "end_error". This has
forced us to change our code to read in a file character
by character... :( Not very efficient...
Thanks!
Kevin
