GCC与MSVC文件输出的不一致性

Question

考虑下面的类，它是一个简单的文件加载类，用于通过在构造过程中将数据加载到内存中来操作小文本文件。

#include <fstream>
#include <ostream>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

class file_loader {
public:
    /**
     * \brief Constructs a file_loader instance using a given filename. Caches the file contents
     *        into the internal cached storage container.
     *
     * \param _filename Name/directory of file to load.
     * \param _max_line_length Optional, approximate maximum length of file lines.
     */
    file_loader(const std::string& _filename, std::size_t _max_line_length = static_cast<std::size_t>(256)) : fs(_filename), filename(_filename) {
        cache_contents(_max_line_length);
    }
    /**

     */
    file_loader(const file_loader& _other) = delete;
    /**
     * \brief Move constructor, moves a given file_loader instance to this leaving the

    }

};

在通过GCC (6.1.0)和MSVC (2015)执行时，使用这个类似乎会产生不同的结果。假设我有以下文本文件(test.txt)：

cheese
ham
eggs
beef
bacon

和下面的main

int main(void) {
    file_loader fl("test.txt");
    fl.overwrite_line(3, "chicken");
    fl.write_changes();
}

在MSVC中，它产生了我预期的结果：

cheese
ham
eggs
chicken
bacon

然而，在GCC (6.1.0)中，我得到：

cheese
ham
eggs
chickenbacon

换句话说，后者似乎将覆盖的行和下面的行“连接”到cached_contents_vec的单个条目中，而前者使条目保持独立(据我在本例中所知，它们应该是独立的)。

知道这里发生了什么吗？我还应该指出，在file_loader::write_changes()中，MSVC不需要此方法中的两个初始行覆盖以前的文件内容，而GCC则需要。

正如@IgorTandetnik评论的那样，这里的问题是GCC生产Unix样式的行结束，而MSVC则生产基于Windows的行端。在简单的文本编辑器(如记事本)中查看输出时，GCC的Unix风格输出不被视为行指示符的末尾，而在“更好”编辑器(如notepad++)中打开时，则在两种情况下正确地处理产生相同的输出。
