Anything that has anything called "Code::Blocks" is not C, and is
thus off topic here. It may be C++, which has its own newsgroup.
C++ is a different language.

You do seem incapable of following a discussion. The point is that
CLI interfaces can be perfectly safe, and I even referred to an
illustration that does it. Since it was in another language
(assembly) and for a rare OS today (CP/M) I refrained from any
details, but announced where they could be found.

Chuck. You assumed (incorrectly, as it turns out) that "Code::Blocks"
must have nothing to do with C, and must therefore be off topic. And
yet you felt it necessary to discuss CP/M at some length. Even if
CP/M were relevant to the specific discussion, you can hardly claim
that it's topical for this newsgroup.

Why is Code::Blocks off topic, while CP/M is on topic?
