::::::::: I think I'll post the revised task descriptions with a small tweak about warnings. The intent was for demonstration code with some documentation. It would be fine to point out that the code isn't secure in the description. Now we've got all kinds of secondary functions. I'd rather see comments on the line p = &p[1] and the while loop showing the reader with little C what's happening.
::::::::: A separate task or family of tasks showing various safe vs. unsafe practices might be worth considering. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 11:39, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
