> I’m using a custom function for reading lines from a file. [Listing: fgetLine()] It’s probably easier to just use getline(), it does basically the same thing

  AFAICT, getline() is not available on Windows, neither with MSVC nor MinGW. The actual solution is to use C++ instead of C :)

    That shouldn't be a big deal for accessing the /proc filesystem as that's also not available on Windows, AFAIK.

      Fair enough!

  Yeah, so you are probably right. The custom definition is something that grew out of my response to the following two posts: A general review of the stdlib https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/02/11/ https://nullprogram.com/blog/2023/02/11/ A review of scanf https://sekrit.de/webdocs/c/beginners-guide-away-from-scanf.html https://sekrit.de/webdocs/c/beginners-guide-away-from-scanf.... Originally I implemented `getLine` (terrible name!) as a way to get multiple lines of input from stdin in a relatively safe way. The implementation borrows almost all of its ideas from the `sekret.de` post. Because I knew the implementation and it was close to hand on my machine, I used it for this version and just swapped out `stdin` for just any old file. Edit: here's the implementation for reference, https://github.com/adammccartney/algorithms/blob/master/libs/adio/adio.c https://github.com/adammccartney/algorithms/blob/master/libs...
