RE: [Dev-C++] gets,fgets,getline

[Ioannis V. <no...@ya...>]

gets() must be provided with a pointer to allocated space either a static
array or a dynamic allocated "array" on the free store (malloced, e.t.c.).
If the characters read by gets() are more than the space allocated you ge=
t
into problems. If you want to guarantee that the length of the string is =
not
more than the allocated space use fgets().
