Answer 1

There is actualy a way to avoid this warning, still use strcpy, and be safe:

You can enable the secure template overloads. They will (if possible) deduce the lengths of the buffers used by capturing them with templated overloads. It's a mystery to me why this is not enabled by default in Visual C++.
