HI,

Is there a standard/Portable equivalent functions for MSVC++ functions like : strncpy_s(), strcpy_s(), _stricmp(), strcat_s(), sprintf_s(), fopen_s() etc.

I am porting a VC6 application to VC8, and getting tones of warnings regarding non-secure functions. I want to replace the non-secure functions with secure ones. But, till now i have not been able to find a portable solutions. I want a portable solution as some part of my app. connects with unix while others with windows.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 3

The C++ portable way is the use of the Standard C++ Library classes std::string and std::wstring or possibly std::vector<char> and std::vector<wchar_t> with Standard algorithms as std::copy_n, std::find etc...
