[15] 8235792: LineNumberReader.getLineNumber() behavior is inconsistent with respect to EOF

Fri Jan 17 01:35:37 UTC 2020

This issue [1] attempts to reinstate the change for [2] which was backed out to fix [3] thereby maintaining longstanding behavior. The proposed change [4] modifies the specification to increment the line number also when EOF is encountered and is not immediately preceded by a line terminator. If this all seems reasonable then a CSR will be filed after the code review.

One thing I am uncertain about is the change to skip() at lines 293-295 of LineNumberReader. I am not sure that those  lines should be added.

Thanks,

Brian
