scanf is a function that can be unsafe and unproductive - "It's nearly impossible to do decent error recovery with scanf; usually it's far easier to read entire lines (with fgets or the like), then interpret them, either using sscanf or some other techniques." - See http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q12.20.html |

scanf is evil and getchar is plain wrong unless you're absolutely sure the number is one digit *and* you do -'0' on the resulting character to turn it into a useful number |

scanf comes recommended by K&R early on :| |

efdot, if only there were a flag for compilers to take care of optimization details... |

pre-mature optimization is evil to all problems. |

fluter: so it matters for me, 500ms or 400ms |

i would revise that dogma to something like "unrestrained use of globals is evil" |

i heard the API was deliberately obfuscated in order to prevent integration. |

atoi is evil. It does no overflow checking, handles unsigned numbers poorly, and handles strings containing trailing characters (like ``123abc'') poorly. Use strtol() instead. |

| 20:03 |

edk: I'm not saying you should derive an integer from the pointer |
| 20:04 |

oh. well then you'd need to know something about the value |

denk: it's a bunch of copy paste, I haven't tested any of it atm. My problem is that it stops and waits at accept() but doesn't continue when I telnet at 3325. |
