std::basic_string::copy deprecated?

[Jonathan Mcdougall]

Visual studio 2005 reports

main.cpp(8) : warning C4996:
'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::copy' was declared deprecated

with this program:

# include <string>

int main()
{
std::string s("Testing");
char buffer[10];

s.copy(buffer, 10); // < here
}

Comeau compiles this fine. I just wanted to know if the message meant
"was declared deprecated by Microsoft" or "was declared deprecated in
the standard". Could not find anything in the draft of tr1.


Thanks,


Jonathan

Ok, ok, I get it. From Boost.org:

"Boost does not support the non-standard "Safe" C++ Library shipping
with Visual C++ 8.0, which may result in many spurious warnings from
Boost headers and other standards-conforming C++ code"

Basically, Microsoft added _s versions to most buffer commands, causing
either an implicit or explicit size definition in an effort to reduce
errors on their OS
