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

The first obvious alternative is to use fgets(). fgets(), unlike gets(),

I am not sure what you meant here, Omer, but IIRC __GNUC__ means
gcc-specific code, and the OP does not have gcc on AIX. I am probably
missing
What I mean is to use whatever preprocessor symbol that is defined when
building using gcc, but undefined on AIX; or vice versa.

I see. I suspect you may need both __GNUC__ and _GNU_SOURCE to be
defined for getline() to work in the context though: the first will
