How to Disable C4996 Warning in MFC Applications?

Disabling C4996 Error in MFC Applications

When encountering the error "error C4996: 'strncpy': This function or variable may be unsafe," it indicates a potential security issue. To resolve this error, Microsoft recommends using the safer strncpy_s function instead. However, if you prefer to disable the deprecation warning, you can leverage the _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS macro.

In your project's Configuration Properties:

  1. Navigate to C/C > Preprocessor > Preprocessor Definitions.
  2. Add the following definition: _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

This will effectively suppress the C4996 warning. It's worth noting that disabling warnings can potentially overlook other issues in your code, so use this approach with caution. If possible, it's always advisable to address the underlying security concerns by employing more secure functions when working with strings.
