<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010>Hi,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>I have a C program
that reads one line of text from the keyboard.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>The original program
was written 10 years ago and was compiled with cc on AIX 4.x.
</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>I used the gets()
function which was the only option available at the time.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>Recently, I had to
port the program to gcc on Linux, but I was confronted with lots of
segfaults.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>So, I had to change
the function to getline() which is much more stable and
secure.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>However, I was asked
to maintain the new version on AIX 5.3 as well. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>When recompiling the
program on the AIX machine I was confronted with the lack of getline() in AIX
implementation of cc.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>I do not have gcc on
that machine, and installing it would be an option of last resort
.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>I am looking for an
alternative to getline(), that would be portable to both Linux and
AIX.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=475265409-27072010></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=475265409-27072010>Please
advise.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
