Thanks, but, I am suprised you do not also ban strncpy(), as it does not

guarantee termination. Also, another is gets(), as it does not check the length either. Oh, there is also vsprintf().

There are even some strange ones that give cross platform problems such as strptime().

And, let us not forget the non thread safe functions like localtime(), which should be replaced by localtime_r().

I am still puzzling over why you have banned strncasecmp(). I will be trying to figure out why you banned it.

I will definitely check out talloc()!

And, finally, sorry I did not reply sooner. I forgot to check back, until I was talking about banned functions.
