>>>Alternatively, you could just make sizeof(int)=sizeof(char)=1
Doug Gwyn replied to the posting but did not comment on this sentence.

There is a reason why Mr. Gwyn did not comment on that particular
sentence. If sizeof(int)==sizeof(char), indeed it is possible that the
input stream might contain a bit pattern that compares equal to the
value of EOF. The programmer must test feof(). I believe Mr. Gwyn
once remarked that he found this distasteful but got used to it.
