Re: delayed eof()?

Hi,

I'm probably asking something posted several times before and maybe you
feel annoyed by answering ... please excuse me nevertheless, as I need
an urgent statement on whether and why this case is conforming to "STL
standard" (read as "is conforming to intentions of STL designers") or not:

Taking this minimal example

------
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

int main( void )
{
    stringstream s;
    char ch;

    s.str( "Hello" );

    while ( !s.eof() )
    {
        s >> ch;
        cout << ch;
    }

    cout << endl;

}
------

results in single line output

Helloo

(sending 6 instead of 5 characters to cout). I tried this with MS Visual
C++ 2005 Express Edition and GNU 4.0.x with libstdc++ 4.0.x ... they
behave equivalently.

What's so wrong about using this simple algorithm to read from string
char-wise, e.g. for parsing it ...
