Is gets() officially deprecated? [duplicate]

Question

Based on the most recent draft of C++11, C++ refers to ISO/IEC 9899:1999/Cor.3:2007(E) for the definitions of the C library functions (per §1.2[intro.refs]/1).

Based on the most recent draft of C99 TC3, The gets function is obsolescent, and is deprecated. (per §7.26.9/2)

Can I safely say that gets() is deprecated in both C and C++?

Answer 1

Deprecated means you shouldn't use it and it might be removed in the future. Since both standards say it is deprecated, that means it is deprecated, officially.
