Judging by your thread title, the warning is something along the lines of "gets is unsafe". The usual recommendation is to prefer fgets because it allows one to provide a limit to the buffer whereas gets will just happily read until a newline …

Well... the easiest way to avoid getting warnings is to write correct programs. Perhaps post some actual code. You can force gcc to hide warnings by compiling with the -w flag. Note the lowercase.

Judging by your thread title, the warning is something along the lines of "gets is unsafe". The usual recommendation is to prefer fgets because it allows one to provide a limit to the buffer whereas gets will just happily read until a newline (walking right off the end of the buffer if necessary).

Note that while it's possible to hide warnings, most of the time it's a supremely stupid idea. Warnings are there for a reason. They don't keep a program from compiling, but they do notify you of potential problems at runtime.
