[ale] gets() in C++

[David S. Jackson]

Can anyone tell me why using gets() in C++ might be unsafe?  When
I compile a C++ program using it I get a warning from a compiler
in FreeBSD that says:  Program uses gets(); this might be unsafe.

I'm just using c++ -o string string.cc for an invocation.

Sheesh!  :-(
