To answer your question about disabling specific warnings in GCC, you can enable specific warnings in GCC with -Wxxxx and disable them with -Wno-xxxx. From the GCC Warning Options: You can request many specific warnings with options beginning -W , for example -Wimplicit to request warnings on implicit declarations.
The gets() function is unsafe because it does not perform bounds checking on the size of its input. An attacker can easily send arbitrarily-sized input to gets() and overflow the destination buffer.
If you want to read a string from standard input, you can use the gets function, the name of which stands for "get string". However, this function is deprecated -- that means it is obsolete and it is strongly suggested you do not use it -- because it is dangerous.
I am using the function gets() in my C code.
My code is working fine but I am getting a warning message
(.text+0xe6): warning: the `gets' function is dangerous and should not be used.
I want this warning message not to pop up. Is there any way?
I am wondering that there might be such possibilities by creating a header file for disabling some warnings. Or is there any option during compiling that can serve my purpose? Or may be there is a particular way of using gets() for this warning not to pop up?
