bug#25707: [PATCH] grep: don't forcefully strip carriage returns


From: Eric Blake
Subject: bug#25707: [PATCH] grep: don't forcefully strip carriage returns
Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 13:23:58 -0600

Commit 5c92a54 made the mistaken assumption that using fopen("rt")
on platforms where O_TEXT is non-zero makes sense.  However, POSIX
already requires fopen("r") to open a file in text mode, vs.
fopen("rb") when binary mode is wanted, and at least on Cygwin,
where it is possible to control whether a mount point is binary
or text by default (using just "r"), the use of fopen("rt") actively
breaks assumptions on a binary mount by silently corrupting any
carriage returns that are supposed to be preserved.

* src/grep.c (main): Never use fopen("rt").
