    Absolutely not my friend. Here is the exact line

    sprintf(messg,"Can't unlink %s",sckt);

    Where is the extra argument???

    Careful on those, MK27. Its a mistake all of us can easily make. Remember that printf() works with the output buffer. sprint() is the one that prints to strings.

    Even at that, I would recommend using snprintf(). Which helps prevent buffer overflows.

    Remember, only you can prevent buffer overflows.

    I bet.

    Code:
    Function: int sprintf (char *s, const char *template, ...)
        This is like printf, except that the output is stored in the character array s 
    instead of written to a stream. A null character is written to mark the end of the string.
    Does this mean I am a prisoner of GNU forever?

    MK27 can you post a compilable snippet?

    Well, obviously there is one since you get a warning?
    And btw master5001, you know there's an edit button, right?

    No. For example, my compiler (gcc 4.1.2) gives an "assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast" warning whenever strcasestr
    is used, no matter how -- guarrenteed. That's an erroneous warning.

    (master5001 knows this and would fancy himself a mindf#@er)

    Yeah but I was hungry and ready to head home... So I figured people would overlook my spamming.

    Not at all. sprintf() is a C standard function. strcasestr() on the otherhand is a GNU extention. I use it anyway... Microsoft provides a lot of functions similar to the GNU extentions that one can simply #define as the GNU names of the functions. I know that is not your issue, MK27. But there are a lot of M$ folks floating around.

    Can you post an example of code that gives you that error reguardless? Por favor.

    [edit]Hey, are you trying to pass a socket as a string? That would issue a warning too. Though typically it would not be this specific warning.[/edit]

    found = strcasestr(content, fthis);

    But gcc is a GNU compiler...

    A filename that aspires to sockethood.

    And how are content, fthis and found declared?
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
