Not only just that, but it seems in many cases there is absolutely no bounds checking whatsoever. There are legacy libraries out there that use the str* group of functions safely, because there is careful bounds checking before each call. That's still far less reassuring than just using safe functions, but it's better than absolutely nothing.

Based on the inconsistent use of tabs and spaces, lack of whitespace around any sort of operators or special syntax, and total disregard for security, this looks much more like a 1995 project than a 2014 one.
