Whether you use fmemopen() later or roll your own text digestion code,
you should make sure to terminate the text read in with a NUL character
so that it's a standard C string, otherwise the string functions will
run amok.
char *buffer = malloc(size + 1);
status = read_data(file, buffer, size);
if (status == GOOD) {
buffer[size] = '\0';
process_buffer(buffer);
} else {
...
}
I would digest the text into an internal representation just after the
file is read, but that's just me.
