Newer glibcs don't declare gets() any more. The glibc ChangeLog has this: 2012-01-12 Marek Polacek <[email protected]> * libio/bits/stdio2.h: Do not define gets for ISO C11, ISO C++11, and _GNU_SOURCE. 2012-01-07 Ulrich Drepper <[email protected]> * libio/stdio.h: Do not declare gets at all for _GNU_SOURCE. 2011-12-23 Ulrich Drepper <[email protected]> [BZ #13528] * libio/stdio.h: Do not declare gets for ISO C11 and _GNU_SOURCE. The comments in glibc/libio/stdio.h now say: The function has been officially removed in ISO C11. This opportunity is used to also remove it from the GNU feature list. It is now only available when explicitly using an old ISO C, Unix, or POSIX standard. I think gnulib should 1) not assume that the function is declared, 2) have a deprecated module 'gets' that declares this function only if the declaration is missing. Comments? Volunteers for this small change? Bruno
