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