This implements a naive version of
getline
because Windows does not havegetline
. Given the fact thatFILE
has buffered IO, callingfgetc
in a loop is not as big of a performance hazard as it might seem at first glance.The proper solution to this would of course be to have our own buffered IO so we are fully in charge of the buffer. In this situation we could check the entire buffer for a newline at once instead of char by char. However that is not going to happen for the near future so I propose we stay with this implementation. If reading individual lines of a file does truly end up being the performance bottle neck we have already won^^.
