problem with cc compiler

[James P. Willey]

      Recently, I wrote a  bubble  sort in C for a class I was taking.
Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. The sort worked fine, but my function to
read the data in interfered with the execution of the code. I kept getting
an error in getchar(), not in my code. I checked with several other syudents
and the professor, but nobody could figure it out. I finally realized that
the function name "read" was the culprit. Are there other function names to
avoid with the cc compiler, or any others for that matter?
Thanks.
