I'm getting a 'strcpy' error and warning for the following lines:
_tcscpy(strCommandLine,_T("MyProgram.exe /param1"));
_tcscpy(strApplicationName,_T("MyProgram.exe"));
Not sure why I'm getting a 'strcpy' error or warning since I'm not using 'strcpy'. The only lines related to this is:
LPCTSTR strApplicationName;
LPTSTR strCommandLine;
_tcscpy(strCommandLine,_T("MyProgram.exe /param1")); //warning is on this line
_tcscpy(strApplicationName,_T("MyProgram.exe")); //error is on this line
The output is:
1>c:\documents and settings\X.X\my documents\sandbox\sample.cpp(52) : warning C4996: 'strcpy': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using strcpy_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.
1> c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\string.h(74) : see declaration of 'strcpy'
1>c:\documents and settings\X.X\my documents\sandbox\sample.cpp(53) : error C2664: 'strcpy' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LPCTSTR' to 'char *'
1> Conversion loses qualifiers
Any ideas on what this could means?
These are my headers: iostream windows.h stdio.h tchar.h winnt.h
