Thread: strcpy get errors

OK so if you really want here's the GETS macro to behave like gets but in a somewhat safe way:

Code:

#define GETS(buf) do { \
     _Static_assert(sizeof buf > sizeof(void*), "GETS(buf): character array required"); \
    fgets(buf, sizeof(buf), stdin); \
     if (buf[strlen(buf)-1] == '\n') buf[strlen(buf)-1] = '\0'; \
} while(0)

Usage:

Code:

printf("type some foo: ");
char line[20];
GETS(line);
printf("your foo was: %s\n", line);
