Warning C4996: This function or variable may be unsafe — compared to GCC on POSIX

Question

I notice that MS compilers give \"deprecated\" warnings for cstdlib functions like getenv. MS has invented its own standard such as _dupenv_s

Answer 1

It annoys the heck outta me that Microsoft chose to do this. I know how to call all the functions safely, I don't want or need these extra warnings.

Just set _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS and be done with it. It's really that silly.
