[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35852] fscanf does not read full file

[Roman Hiestand]

Follow-up Comment #20, bug #35852 (project octave):

You're welcome.
I'm not sure whether we can blame MS' C++ library here. Please keep in mind
that the MinGW build of Octave 3.6.1 has the same bug, and this one uses
libstdc++. I don't know what the common denominator is.
I think it's possible that the same bug exists on *nix too, but it simply does
not occur because the buffer size is very big (on Windows, ungetc's buffer
size is 4096 bytes). The error happens if the '-' is the last character in the
old buffer, and the first digit triggers a reload. There's a certain
probability for that pattern, with big buffers this probability decreases.

About quoting: Sure, go ahead.
Thanks for reviewing and including my patch!
