Oh boy! Just when i thought they couldn\’t screw things more than they\’ve already did.
A friend of mine is just trying to compile something like
thefile = fopen(\”my-file\”,\”r\”);
if (thefile != NULL) printf(\”did it ^_^\\n\”);
and there, he gets a warning message from MSVC IDE (no idea which version) about \”fopen\” being deprecated. For security purpose, or so says the msdn.
\”I beg you pardon? i thought fopen() was part of a _standard_ library ?\” well, all MS coders are now supposed to write code using fopen_s and strcpy_s (which happens to look very much like strncpy(), but maybe that one wasn\’t standard enough to redmon\’s tastes).
\”We are the blorg\” they replied \”resistance is futile\”. Then i turned back at my friends and shouted \”run! run for your lives!\”
