Message: [QUOTE="Mark McIntyre, post: 2453349"] Of course there isn't. But there's also nothing in the standard that ensures that fflush(stdout) won't explode a nuclear device. It requires it to clear the buffer, nothing more. Evaporating the installation would achieve this handily. Hyperbole aside, my point is that any part of the standard that interacts with the outside world is open to abuse. Careful programming and careful use prevent that, nothing more. For what its worth I agree, gets() is overly dangerous and it'd be nice if it were gone. I disagree that its impossible to safely use it. Its just excessively hard. Mark McIntyre [/QUOTE]
