How to use #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE?

Hi,
I am trying to use strcpy. I am getting 'deprecated function warning'. One of the posts on this forum suggests to use

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

before stdafx.h

I have done this but still I am getting lot of warnings:

Code:

My code is as follows:

Code:

---


#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
#include "stdafx.h"

#include "string.h"

int days_in_month[]={0,31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
char *months[]=
{
        " ",
        "January",
        "February",
        "March",
        "April",
        "May",
        "June",
        "July",
        "August",
        "September",
        "October",
        "November",
        "December"
};
struct Calendar{
        char monthName[11];
        char DayName[31][3];//worst case
        int  DayNo[31];
};
Calendar calArr[12]; //12 months
char *DayName[7]={"Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu","Fri", "Sat", "Sun"};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
        int DayNameIndex;
        int month,day;
        //_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE;
        strcpy(calArr[0].DayName[0],"Sat");
        strcpy(calArr[0].monthName,"January");
        calArr[0].DayNo[0]=1;
        DayNameIndex=5;


    for ( month = 1; month <= 12; month++ )
        {
                strcpy_s(calArr[month-1].monthName,months[1]);
                //if (month==2) check leap year
                for ( day = 1; day <= days_in_month[month]; day++ );
        }

Some body plz guide me.

Zulfi.

Try this one,

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

Quote:

with both these in the stdafx.h it does now work

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1

#define _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE 1

---

and several other methods

Hi,

Thanks for your attention. I tried both the recipes but still I am getting this warning message.

Kindly guide me.


Zulfi.

Try adding -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to the arguments that you send the compiler.

Hi,
I have tried the following but still it gives me the same set of warnings:

Code:

---

#define D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE 1

#define _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE 1
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "string.h"

---

Warnings:

I still need help on this.


Zulfi.

Strange. Just

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

should be enough.

I think you still get the messages because

stdafx.cpp

isn't recompiled so the defines don't take effect.

Put

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

on top of stdafx.h instead.

---

But before you do that you could try and add this line,

#pragma warning(disable : 4996)

on top of testcalendar1.cpp

Hi,

I have tried the following:

Code:

---


// testCalendar1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#pragma warning(disable : 4996)



#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "string.h"
#include "stdlib.h"

---

But I am still getting the deprecate message.

Kindly guide me.

I am using VS2005.

Zulfi.

You should add it to the project settings (C/C++ / Preprocessor / Preprocessor Definitions).

Everything before #include "stdafx.h" is ignored if you have precompiled headers enabled.

It wasn't that clear maybe but one of my suggestions was to put,

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

inside the actual stdafx.h file (at the top). That should do it.

Yes, this is one of the correct ways to handle this.

When using precompiled headers with the Microsoft compiler, it ignores any code in the source file until it finds the include of the precompiled header file. So any of the #defines before the #include "stdafx.h" are just thrown away (ignored).

The other common way to handle this is to add it to the preprocessor definitions in the project, making sure to set it for both debug and release configurations.

Hi,

I want to thank all my friends for helping me. I have put it on top in the stdafx.h file but still I am getting the same set of warnings.

Code:

---

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
#pragma once


#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN                // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>

---

Kindly guide me. I want to avoid this . Though its not causing any error but for newcomers this can be very much questionable.

Zulfi.

Hi,
I have done it in preprocessor definitions also. But still I am getting these warnings.

Code:

---



WIN32;_DEBUG;_CONSOLE;_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

---

Strange.

Well, I have no further suggestions. There's probably something you do that would be obvious if one could look at the full project.

You'll have to figure it out using the Microsoft documentation,

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=VS.80).aspx

To isolate the problem, create a new project and do nothing but introduce strcpy.

I know I'm a few years late, but maybe this will help out other people.
Instead of _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS in the preprocessor, try _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE

Hi, i had the same problem and found this solution:

Go to Project; Properties; C/C++; Advanced; Disable Specific Warnings; 4996
