I do not believe it is appropriate to deprecate strtok() without a proper replacement.
While I agree that its signature is undesirable, the suggested replacement functions or “just write a parser” are not very pleasant solutions to fill the void it would leave. The stateful functionality it exhibits is incredibly useful, though I will admit confusing. Would it not be better to change how the functionality is accessed to reflect the fact that state is preserved rather than remove it entirely and force a performance burden on developers?
