Wrapper function for sprintf, strcat, strcpy?

[donguymi]

Hello

I am working on VS2003 and using the above mentioned functions, but the compiler gives me warning saying those functions are #pragma depreciated.

I know VS2008 has functions like sprintf_s, but unfortunately i will not be able to upgrade to 2008.

So now i want to use a wrapper function around sprintf, which will do the additional work that sprintf_s will do and there by making sure that i call sprintf only once.

This new wrapper function should be able to check for buffer over run and then i will call sprintf inside this function.

What it will do is, it will make sure that, i only need to call sprintf once and that will bring down compiler warning to just one.

Is anyone aware of such a wrapper function? Or can anyone help write a wrapper?

Thanks in advance.

I may be wrong, but I thought that VS2003 had the _s (secure) versions of these otherwise why would it warn you that the old ones are deprecated?

As for writing your own wrappers, what's the problem?

To see what additionally do the "secure string functions", you can take a look in MSDN at Security Enhancements in the CRT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8ef0s5kh(VS.80).aspx).
