V739 EOF should not be compared with a value of the 'char' type. The 'c' should be of the 'int' type. fileutil.cpp 852

string fgetstring(FILE* f)
{
  string res;
  for (;;)
  {
    char c = (char) fgetc(f);        // <=
    if (c == EOF)                    // <=
      RuntimeError("error reading .... 0: %s", strerror(errno));
    if (c == 0)
      break;
    res.push_back(c);
  }
  return res;
