checking for eof in string::getline

by

The canonical reading loop in C++ is:

while (getline(cin, str)) {

}

if (cin.bad()) {
    // IO error
} else if (!cin.eof()) {
    // format error (not possible with getline but possible with operator>>)
} else {
    // format error (not possible with getline but possible with operator>>)
    // or end of file (can't make the difference)
}
