Re: Program issue when compiled against Newlib

[Ian Seyler <ian dot seyler at returninfinity dot com>]

You are on to something with '\r'. Maybe my implementation of read()
is off. I now get better results as seen here:
----------------
Please type your name: Ian
Please type another word: Test
Hello Ian

Word was Test

Goodbye.
----------------

The data from the second string is now printed. I just get some extra
newline characters now.

// read - Read from a file
int read(int file, char *ptr, int len)
{
	asm volatile ("xchg %bx, %bx"); // Bochs magic debug
	if (file == 0) // STDIN
	{
		asm volatile ("call *0x00100078" : "=c" (len) : "c"(len), "D"(ptr));
// Automatically NULL terminates input from the keyboard
		ptr[len] = '\r';
		ptr[len+1] = '\n'; // NULL terminate as well?
		len += 2;
		asm volatile ("call *0x00100048"); // Print a newline
	}
	else
	{
		len = 0;
	}
	return len;
}

I am debugging the OS and program under Bochs.

Thanks,
-Ian
