Re: [Dev-C++] Help me.... strange char functions on MinGW

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

A strset() that allocates own memory would be quite meaningless - why take
a buffer parameter as input, if the buffer is only used to figure out a
buffer size?

It would be reasonable that a strset() behaves similarly to a memset().

And just as with memset(), the caller is responsible for supplying correct
input parameters.
