That one can probably be fixed in the build system.
I hope it will be.
2. You have used a std:: construct that is not safe. See documentation on how to use the Safe Standard C++ Library 3. The POSIX name for this item is deprecated. Instead, use the ISO C++ conformant name: ... 4. This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using ... instead.
I'm quite sure that they don't indicate any bug (am I right?), but I still don't think they should show up like this and intimidate users...
Seriously, it appears Microsoft set up a list of standard (ISO C++, POSIX, ...) functions that they consider unsafe, and they issue warnings whenever one of them is used. Some workarounds for these were discussed here before, such as pragma guards to mask the warnings inside boost code. No change has been committed to that effect so far.
Yes, I've heard of Microsoft's "deprecation campaign". I think that compiling Boost (as opposed to compiling user code that uses Boost) should not emit any of these warning. I also think it should be quite easy to do. Well, I hope it will be fixed for the next version... Yuval
