#include <conio.h> char *cgets(char *_str); |
Get a string from the console. This will take advantage of any command-line editing TSRs. To use, you must pre-fill the first character of the buffer. The first character is the size of the buffer. On return, the second character is the number of characters read. The third character is the first character read.
A pointer to the first character read.

It's not safe to call this function inside static constructors, because conio needs to be initialized, and its initialization is done by a static constructor. Since you don't have any control on the order in which static constructors are called (it's entirely up to the linker), you could have problems.
If you can detect the situation when one of the conio functions is
called for the very first time since program start, you could work
around this problem by calling the gppconio_init
function
manually (this is the function called by a static constructor).
