--- Comment #16 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2012-02-28 16:42:55 UTC --- I suppose that post 4.7.0 we have to revisit this issue anyway, because C++11 definitely wants to declare std::gets, irrespective of C11. I'm wondering if it would be possible to just take this into account in <stdio.h>, I seem to remember that the glibc headers in a few places already use __cplusplus, right? We also have the __CORRECT_ISO_CPP_STRING_H_PROTO story as an example of interaction between glibc and C++. That said, for 4.7.0, I think that in any case we want: 1- To fully run the testsuite on a GNU/Linux system using glibc2.15; 2- Convince ourselves that whatever we do in the C++ library is not going to interact badly with further tweaks at the glibc level..
