It is always safe in the cases where one would be able to use sys_errlist directly, actualy: in that case the glibc source code boils down to return _sys_errlist_internal[errnum]). Another way is to use strerror_r, which is standard since POSIX 2001. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
