Try it again, fixing the trivial error on line 20

Don't bother - it isn't an error.

One good reason for passing C though a C++ compiler:

"/tmp/x.c", line 16: Error: Cannot use const char[82] to initialize
char[81].

Oh yes you can. Not in C++, true - but this is comp.lang.c, not
comp.lang.c++, and the code I posted is C, not C++.

Read the code more carefully. I think you jumped to a false conclusion.
