Well, not everybody. The people who tell you C++ is better than C fall into
two categories:
1) the ones who have never spent the time necessary to master C;
2) the ones who /have/ spent the time mastering both C and C++, and who
have discovered that C++ fits the way they think about programming better
than C does.

Customer: Look jacob, you wrote the stuff in C!
me: Yes why?
Customer: No structure, no classes, no nothing. Besides we do
not have anybody that knows C here!
At the same time, as more and more people decide that C is hopeless,
the C++ people advance, making progress in all directions.
I still believe that a simple non object oriented language like C
has a place in software development where it offers speed and
transparency.
Central to this situation is the standards committee, that for the time
being has decided to do... well nothing until 2019 or later. Small steps
are done, they declared "gets" deprecated, and there are some very
interesting TR in the pipeline but nothing is definitely adopted
into the standard. C 2009 is dead as it seems.
And this group, with the core "regulars" is an example of people
living in the past, without even noticing or acknowledging that
data processing is evolving, that all languages must adapt or disappear.
Both GNU and Microsoft agree: C is dead. Gcc still hasn't gotten to
accept the C99 standard fully, and Microsoft ignores it. At least
Microsoft tries to participate in the standards committee, they proposed
their "safer C" extensions to the library, what is a major advance.
The GNU people do not discuss C anymore, and their compiler is a C++
compiler, where all development is done.
There are no technical reasons for this situation. It could be possible
to clean and expand the standard library, one of the most glaring
deficiencies of the language. Designed in the 70s, it hasn't changed
since then, and it shows!
No abstraction, low level, dangerous procedures like strncpy, gets,
asctime, and MANY others. It knows nothing about containers, hash
tables, stacks, linked lists. The zero terminated strings are the only
string type supported.
Making a better string library, allowing for operator overloading for
containers and new numeric types, improving the language to adapt it
to the new hardware environment available is frowned upon, "that
wouldn't be C", as if C would disappear if we put strncpy and gets
in the trash can.
I have invested the last 12 years of my life working to improve the
situation. The lcc-win32 implementation of C99 is one of the most
successful around, and in August we passed the *half million*
downloads.
The interest for C is still big, but this has been an effort
of a few people, that have invested an enormous amount of work
into that implementation.
Will it be possible to turn this tide around?
Can a simple language like C exist?
Yes, of course. It needs a rewrite of the standard library, and
some syntactic sugar to accommodate containers, lists, stacks, and other
data structures into a standard library that could be much simpler
to use than the STL, but much more efficient and adapted to
smaller memory footprints.
This could be done with the extensions I have proposed here (and
in comp.std.c). They can be reviewed here: http://www.q-software-solutions.de/~jacob/proposal.pdf

And maybe looking earnestly into the C library and thinking a bit:
"Maybe we should reconsider this stuff" ???
Never occurred to you that many critiques of C are completely justified
and we should address those?
There is no point in "hot air" discussions but an earnest analysis
of the faults in the library would be a better starting point.

However that doesn't imply that the group's de facto topicality rules,
which have served it well, can be thrown out of the window.
Both GNU and Microsoft agree: C is dead.
For Microsoft, maybe. But surely gcc's C compiler is still used in a variety
of environments where C is a main implementation language. C isn't dead;
it's use on the most user visible platform of computing, i.e. the desktop,
has reduced, but it's very much used elsewhere.
Gcc still hasn't gotten to
accept the C99 standard fully, and Microsoft ignores it.
That doesn't imply C is dead, just that it's latest Standard is rather
unpractical.
At least
Microsoft tries to participate in the standards committee, they proposed
their "safer C" extensions to the library, what is a major advance.
C is not, and can never be, a "safe" language like Java or C#/.NET. If you
want a "safe" language, you can use one of them.
C was designed to be effectively used by those who take the time and effort
to understand it's design choices and their ramifications.
The GNU people do not discuss C anymore, and their compiler is a C++
compiler, where all development is done.
This is most likely untrue. You are engaging in polemic.
There are no technical reasons for this situation. It could be possible
to clean and expand the standard library, one of the most glaring
deficiencies of the language. Designed in the 70s, it hasn't changed
since then, and it shows!
Most platform already have suitable and Standardised, (not C Standard),
alternatives to many Standard C functions.
No abstraction, low level, dangerous procedures like strncpy, gets,
asctime, and MANY others.
Any software project worth it's name has in-house procedures that spell out
these problems and propose recommended alternatives. As has been explained
to you on countless occasions, the Standard cannot change the semantics or
remove these functions because doing so would break huge amounts of
existing code.
It knows nothing about containers, hash
tables, stacks, linked lists.
All of these are, in most situations, already available in the form of
preexisting libraries. The GNU GLib is an example.
The zero terminated strings are the only
string type supported.
Alternative string packages abound.
Making a better string library, allowing for operator overloading for
containers and new numeric types, improving the language to adapt it
to the new hardware environment available is frowned upon, "that
wouldn't be C", as if C would disappear if we put strncpy and gets
in the trash can.
Yes, if you exceed a certain threshold for modifications to the language,
there will come a time when calling it C would become misleading and
disingenuous. Your lcc-win32 language is heading in that direction.
<snip>
The interest for C is still big, but this has been an effort
of a few people, that have invested an enormous amount of work
into that implementation.
Will it be possible to turn this tide around?
On your platforms of choice, I don't think so.
Can a simple language like C exist?
It not only exists, but thrives and will continue to exist even if maybe not
where _you_ want it to.
But as you yourself noted, one shouldn't fear change. If the vast majority
of desktop programmers deem C impractical, why would you cling to the past
and ignore reality?
Yes, of course. It needs a rewrite of the standard library, and
some syntactic sugar to accommodate containers, lists, stacks, and other
data structures into a standard library that could be much simpler
to use than the STL, but much more efficient and adapted to
smaller memory footprints.
As I said before, there are already workarounds and prebuilt libraries to do
much of what you propose wiring into the language and taking it down the
rocky road that C++ has already travelled.
This could be done with the extensions I have proposed here (and
in comp.std.c). They can be reviewed here:

Look. It may or may not have served it well. All I know is that it is
one of the rudest technical groups I have ever come across and that a
little more leeway and thought before sneering and saying "off topic" is
required. The example I have about the inclusion of mstat.h is a good
example. People come here in good faith to get help programming C. If
you can help, help. Most issues stay in the same threads. Dont like it?
Kill the thread. Clearly, as Chris Hills says, if there IS indeed a more
suitable groups where there are actually resident experts then that
thread will indeed move there.

Nothing. I should probably not have lumped it with the likes of gets.

I have never used strlcpy. I do use strcpy on occasion, but mostly I use my

Quite. Nevertheless, it does a reasonable job of substring handling on

There is occasionally a good reason to use strncpy(). However:
* Using strncpy() into a large buffer can be very inefficient.
strncpy() always writes to every byte in the destination
buffer, which can waste a lot of time if the destination
buffer is much longer than the source string.
* If the source string is longer than the size of the
destination buffer, then strncpy() doesn't write a
terminating null. So a call to strncpy() must be followed
by explicitly writing a null terminator at the end of the
destination buffer in most cases.

You're right, it doesn't. What makes Mr Navia's articles nasty is not the
fact that he disagrees with others - for lots of us here disagree with
each other, and yet we manage not to be nasty. No, his articles are nasty
because he injects nastiness into them. Martin hit the nail on the head.
I don't think there is a nicer poster in this group.
That is not the only way in which you are in a tiny minority here. Mr Navia
habitually strikes out at people rather than trying to understand what
they're telling him. If that is what you regard as "nicer" behaviour, then
that's up to you, but you will find few who agree with you.

well, I believe that OOP and Procederal Programming is all a matter of
personal preference, or even the task at hand. Sometimes you, or the
company that you work for, may need an in-house function or tool that
will carry out a desird task. If that is the case, a really in-depth
OOP approach may not be the desired way to achieve the task.
Therefore, it is always best to carefully analyse what type of
approach to take when you begin to implement the program.

A "C vs C++" discussion, is a typical flame bate. :)
Bad code can be written regardless of language. My first programming
language was Simula, so OO techniques came naturally, still I ended up
as a C programmer.
My CS teacher said:
"Programming OO (Simula) is like driving a Volvo, while C programming is
driving a Ferrari."
Those days, Volvo was safe, but not very fast.

Right. I'm aware of the issues that are raised by misuse of strncpy - but
hey, any function can be misused. That doesn't necessarily make it a bad
function.
A well designed API, should be consistent and simple. There are quite
some years ago now, when I told c.l.c people, that the better
alternative for strncpy() and strncat(), was provided by OpenBSD
strlcpy() and strlcat().
Apparently, the standards people didn't agree, so now we have strcpy_s()

You are right, it is a matter of statistics. strncpy happens to be misused
a lot, causing various kinds of inefficiencies or downright bugs that lurk

Just don't use this stinking function, use strlcpy or equivalent instead,

The problem is that people think it is a general purpose safe or sub-string
strcpy() replacement.
It isn't. It is designed for copying strings to fixed length database fileds
where there is no necessary terminating nul and no random padding characters
are allowed. For that purpose it is exactly what you wnat.

Not available on any implementation I currently use. Use strncpy when

use strlcpy, which has different implementations on different

Same here, but I even so used these OpenBSD interfaces since year

Shouldn't be a problem for the implementations you use! :-)

Did you follow the GNU discussion back then? IIRC, the main argument
against it, was that few C programmers, demanded these functions and
that rolling your own would be easy.
Things are different now, hasn't even Gwyn put forward a safe
replacement for gets()? Also we have, TR 24731 "Part I: Bounds-checking
interfaces", recommending all those *_s functions.

I agree with you. That's what I meant by "or equivalent". I have my own
implementation as well.
strlcpy was not included in the GLIBC, because they are non-believers: there
are many instances of strncpy in the GLIBC, most of which are wrong and
could have been fixed with strlcpy.
It's a shame the committee would not define a proper library function for
limited string copy and concatenation, so everybody can safely rely on a
standardized, well defined API. A revamped stream and string parsing API
would also have helped more than VLAs.

Only sporadically, since I didn't have any strong feelings either way.
I remember claims that there was no evidence that they made things
safer, despite their long history in BSD, and that it's better for
programmers to be aware of how long their strings are, rather than
having to check whether data was truncated. I certainly agree with the
last, since programmers who can't properly handle strings are probably
among those who never check return values :-)

be wildly wrong in which case I unreservedly apologise for any

There is occasionally a good reason to use strncpy(). However:
* Using strncpy() into a large buffer can be very inefficient.
strncpy() always writes to every byte in the destination
buffer, which can waste a lot of time if the destination
buffer is much longer than the source string.
* If the source string is longer than the size of the
destination buffer, then strncpy() doesn't write a
terminating null. So a call to strncpy() must be followed
by explicitly writing a null terminator at the end of the
destination buffer in most cases.
If strncpy() didn't write a null terminator, it usually means that not
all of the source string was copied. Just writing a null terminator
is probably the best thing to do sometimes, but often this should be
treated as an error and handled in some arbitrarily complex manner.
If strncpy() *does* copy the entire source string but doesn't write a
null terminator, then there isn't room to write one anyway (unless you
overwrite the last character of the string).
Of course, if there wasn't room in the target array to hold the source
string, it's not strcnpy()'s fault; you'll have to deal with it no
matter what you use.

Zero-terminated buffers are the only string format provided by
standard C. (In C, the term "string" refers to a data format, not to
a data type.) It's straightforward to provide C code that implements
other string formats and/or types, and many people have done so. I
