Shouldn't it be sufficient to declare the string as volatile? That should prevent it from being optimized by the compiler. (I'm not questioning your solution, mind you. I just wonder if "volatile" would do the job. So far I've used volatile for things like sig_atomic_t only.) Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
