Pardon my ignorance here, but would someone mind explaining this a
little more? My intuition is saying that it's unsafe to use strcmp on
user input because there's no checking that there is in fact a sane
string (null terminated), but I haven't been around long enough to be
sure that's the issue or if there's just something more sensible in
boost.
I'd be happy with a link on the topic; I couldn't find anything useful googling.
