I use this code to read dynamic string:
char *s1;
.......
puts("Inserire una stringa: ");
while((*s1++=ge tchar())!='\n') ;
*s1='\0';
The compilation (ANSI C) is OK but I receive an error during the execution.
The problem is not present if I use a static array.
I cannot find the error.

also, this is now a very short name to have with external linkage. i would probably change to internal linkage, or rename it rfgets_r -- heh, perhaps both.
I would change its name to wof (write-only function)

Well maybe I'm just jealous cos I couldn't come up with something as
clever as this function ;-)

those who know me have no need of my name! what if the malloc fails? (the cast just to do the arithmetic is ugly enough to want a change, even though it is valid -- as long as malloc doesn't fail.)
One could argue that if malloc fails, writing to 0+l results in
fail-fast-by-segfault behaviour :)
But I guess you're right.

_May_ result in fail-fast-by-segfault behaviour. May also, e.g., result
in fail-late-and-disastrously-by-overwritten-interrupt-vector behaviour.

One could argue that, but one would not be right on all systems.

I have designed a form that has 5 different list boxes where the
selections within each are used as criteria in building a dynamic

do not necessarily need to have a selection made to be used in the

In essence the form can have selections made in all or none of its list
boxes to form the dynamic query

Hi Everyone,
I apologise if this is covered in the FAQ, I did look, but nothing

I want to create a 2 dimensional array, a 'array of strings'. I already
know that no individual string will be longer than 50 characters. I just
don't know before run time how many elements of the array will be needed.
I have heard it is possible to dynamically allocate memory for a 2

I realize this is not a Palm OS development forum, however, even though

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
