C++: Unresolved external symbol _sprintf and _sscanf in Visual Studio 2015

Question

For a research project, I\'m writing a C++ add-on to a scientific computing language. Unfortunately the library that allows users to do this is not kept very well up-to-date

Answer 1

I got this error compiling cycling max plugins against version 5 max sdk (pure c api). The legacy library fix didn't work for me (it should have, and if anyone had any idea why it mightn't I'd be curious), but I defined _NO_CRT_STDIO_INLINE before stdio was loaded and that did do the trick.
