How do I disable deprecation in VC++ Express Edition?

Question

Hi everyone,

How do you disable the deprecation check in VC++ Express Edition?

Below is what I'm trying to do:

Code Snippet

warning C4996: 'strcpy': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strcpy_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.

How/where do I use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS ?

I'm looking into using strcpy_s at the moment, but I would like to know the method to disable the warning, just to learn.

Thanks in advance!!

Kurt

Allways happy to help a fellow wrestler...

Project properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->Preprocessor->Preprocessor Definitions

Click on the elipses (...)
type any definitions you like separated by "\n"ie

_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

hit OK.
enjoy the silence...

By the way, to disable for just one file put this line before the line that causes the warning

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

 

If you want to turn off the POSIX deprecated warnings, put this line, too

#define _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_WARNINGS

And, of course, you can put these lines in a header file, such as "Warnings.h" and include at the top of files which you do not want those warnings:

#include "Warnings.h"
