No, I bet Peter was referring to Lua.

Bob has heard my rants a little more :-) I was thinking of Scheme (a cleaned up dialect of Lisp). I like Lua too, which is getting to be more like Scheme (Pascal-like syntax for people who can't understand the beauty of brackets ;-)

But naming a specific language only detracts from what I wanted to say in my previous post. Don't use unnecessarily low level languages if you can avoid it.

And now I'm going to get flamed.

All he said was:
>>Don't use printf(string), use printf("%s", string)<<

Which is absolutely correct. An even without the security implications (If I can enter the string in the game, I could also simply turn the power button... no need to screw the stack here) - you don't want to have gibberish on the screen.

And if I recall correctly, printf is defined to take a "format" string as 1st and then the output strings as second paramter. So, if you don't supply a format string, it's your fault.

And I think playing safe is something we all should do in all of our programs.
(Guess I should add some more return value checks to my programs, now)

Side note:
How do I: supply an function using the string and then push the address to that function onto the stack?
Sounds faszinating. Can I use this for scripting purposes?
