Dynamic String Input – using scanf(“%as”)

by

The a modifier to scanf won’t work if you are compiling with the -std=c99 flag; make sure you aren’t using that.

If you have at least version 2.7 of glibc, you can and should use the m modifier in place of a.

Also, it is your responsibility to free the buffer.
