Subj : Re: String memory Allocation To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : M. Finch Date : Sun Oct 03 2004 03:34 pm Good explanation guys.... So, what is preferred then if it is "recommended" to not use this. I'm parsing a CSV string. Being that there is even an accronym CSV, it is pretty common and I'd prefer not to write my own parser if possible. I am using it in a multithreaded program and I do seem to have some bugs of unknown origin. I don't know if this is what is causing it, but I am interested in getting to a rock-solid program. .
