@RichFelker @PowerDNS_Bert I don't see how that patch makes a change equivalent to gets().

@DavidStrauss@PowerDNS_Bert The change is silently fixing code that was equivalent to gets() that affected#systemd's password-entry. -
@RichFelker@PowerDNS_Bert I see how it's a silent fix now. Is there a standard, non-blocking function that would have been safer? -
@DavidStrauss@PowerDNS_Bert The problem wasn't implementing their own function but making the classic "gets() mistake" when doing it. -
@richfelker@davidstrauss@powerdns_bert Using (an equivalent to) gets() at all is a problem too: http://www.drpaulcarter.com/cs/common-c-errors.php#4.4 … -
@macmark_de@RichFelker@PowerDNS_Bert You missed the point of this conversation. We know gets() is bad. That is why we compared code to it.
