Subject: 答复: [PATCH] ftello: Need adjust file offset before switching to write

I don't think this has something to do with ungetc or UB.
If don't call ungetc and replace fputs with others, like fwrite or fputc, the result of ftell or final file content is not correct.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This line produces UB. You can't perform a write after ungetc without an intervening successful seek (or hitting EOF).
