Partial lines

Hi, thanks for the bug report. What behavior do you need when the file has no terminal newline? Should the line be discarded? Should the reader block until the other process has written the file? Best Regards Ben Strasser

I don't think blocking till rest of the line is written would be necessary as I'm already polling on file size, neither should the line be discarded. What I did was resetting line_end = line_begin then returning nullptr, so the full line can be picked up next time. But this approach won't work while parsing static CSV files with the new line missing at the end of the file, as it will miss last line.

Do you have better ideas to handle both cases properly?

Thanks.

Hi, I think implementing the blocking behavior is the easiest. Derive a class from ByteSourceBase and implement the int read(char*buffer, int size) function. The function should only return if at least one byte was read. If no bytes are currently available but the EOF was not reached, the function should block. Returning 0 signals an EOF.
