Is gets() officially deprecated?

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).

Answer 1

Even code which would be broken by the removal of gets() from the library would, after such removal, be less broken than it was before such removal. I suppose it might be necessary for compiler vendors to include it in a "fully-standard compliant" mode, but the number of circumstances where it could safely be used is so vanishingly small that it would probably be reasonable to exclude it from a "normal" build.
