Pardon my ignorance here, but would someone mind explaining this a little more? My intuition is saying that it's unsafe to use strcmp on user input because there's no checking that there is in fact a sane string (null terminated), but I haven't been around long enough to be sure that's the issue or if there's just something more sensible in boost. I'd be happy with a link on the topic; I couldn't find anything useful googling. -Nathan _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
