- stdio: don't assume gets any more
-
- Gnulib intentionally does not have a gets module, and now that C11
- and glibc have dropped it, we should be more proactive about warning
- any user on a platform that still has a declaration of this dangerous
- interface.
-
- * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H, gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Drop gets
- support.
- * modules/stdio (Makefile.am): Likewise.
- * lib/stdio-read.c (gets): Likewise.
- * tests/test-stdio-c++.cc: Likewise.
- * m4/warn-on-use.m4 (gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE): Fix comment.
- * lib/stdio.in.h (gets): Make warning occur in more places.
- * doc/posix-functions/gets.texi (gets): Update documentation.
- Reported by Christer Solskogen.
