void test() {
int mystr[100] = "This is a string";
mystr = "This is another string?";
}This causes the compiler to barf on the second statement:

Yeah, I never did finish the implementation of strings, did I...
You can initialize strings just fine though. Will work on this some time or another.
I think this may have been discussed prior to the forum meltdown, but:
While it's still not possible to assign strings, it IS possible to pass strings as arguments. So:
void strcpy(int src, int dest) {
int i;
for(i = 0; src[i] != 0; i++) {
dest[i] = src[i];
}
dest[i] = 0;
}Other implementations of standard C functions are NOT forthcoming.

Does this mean no strcmp()? 😞

int strcmp(int a, int b) {
int j;
for(j = 0; a[j] != 0 && b[j] !=0; j++) {
if(a[j] < b[j]) return -1;
if(a[j] > b[j]) return 1;
}
if(a[j] == b[j]) return 0;
if(a[j] == 0) return 1; else return -1;
}First person to ask for sprintf gets a flogging!
I'm going to say that this is not a bug. It's possible to use strcpy as I showed above to copy strings around. Though, we don't have true string literals to make this easy. However, that's a separate issue.
