Hey, C came earlier and strcat is still in the standard, as well as non-prototyped function calls. Someone told me FORTRAN still maintains backward compatibility with arithmetic ifs, and it's been like, what, 60 years? Strange that.
- reality_czech 11y agoYou are comparing apples and oranges. strcat is a library function which is easy to avoid, whereas the implicit type conversion behavior is part of the core C++ language and very difficult to escape. Non-prototyped function calls are there, but they trigger warnings on any compiler from the last 3 decades. Anyway, thanks for playing the "deny, obfuscate, shift blame for broken C++ design decisions" game.
