strcat()

[pcaraglio]

I am writing a c++ program that involves a bit of cstrings, and I was wondering if there is any way to check to see if strcat fails?

You can't really. That's one of the drawbacks of dealing with char*s instead of std::strings.

What do you mean by "fails"? The strcat() function always succeeds. You may call it incorrectly (that is, you may provide bad data to it), but that is not a failure of the function itself.
