IIRC, using _SECURE_SCL means that VC8 will replace some calls to strcpy, et. al. with the MS str***_s equivalents. There may be other changes as well.
I think you're confusing with other defines such as _CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES. From MSDN: "_SECURE_SCL If defined as 1, unsafe iterator use causes a runtime error. If defined as 0, checked iterators are disabled. The exact behavior of the runtime error depends on the value of _SECURE_SCL_THROWS. The default value for _SECURE_SCL is 1, meaning checked iterators are enabled by default." more info: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/y9ww7c1a.aspx (all about checked iterators) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8ef0s5kh.aspx (security enhancements in the CRT) Tanguy
