If I am not wrong, a safe alternate for scanf could be (relatively) easily written which simply uses getline and sscanf -- thereby replacing the original scanf function. Why has not anyone written such a function and included it into the GNU C library? Myself, I may write such a function for a specific case in my program, but to modify the original library function I lack the know-how. I request one of the guru-s here to do this most helpful task.
