This is so dumb. safercopy(42,a,33,b); Just use lisp!

  How do I link LISP into my C project to do this safer copy you recommend ?

    First, you must build a half-baked version of Common Lisp in C.

    You use ECL[0] o MKCL[1], but don't let snarkyness get in the way of reality. [0]: http://ecls.sourceforge.net/ http://ecls.sourceforge.net/ [1]: http://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl/ http://common-lisp.net/project/mkcl/

  People are downvoting you, but as the author of this I can say you're right. Not necessarily lisp, but using any language that doesn't have the fatal flaw of totally broken strings is better. C is still a large historical influence on many languages, and knowing it makes people more capable as programmers. That's why I teach it, and I use it because I'm just old like that. Once someone knows C they can fix all kinds of problems, and then can learn a huge number of languages fairly easily. But these days, without a solid reason for using it, I'd avoid C and use a better alternative.
