RE: [Dev-C++] Errorhandling

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

Uf. I do not want to open issues here, but there are many searching
algorithms (which i do not know). One efficient the C library provides
is bsearch(). Of course this particulal algorithm isn't applicable here,
but the point is that any implementation can provide its own strcat()
version. It can be written in assembly, pascal (as in C++ Builder) with
a C type interface, e.t.c.. It is only guaranteed that it doesn't miss
the first appearance of '\0'. Of course it can be written in C looking
character after character. :)
