Re: [Mingw-users] strsafe lib and header?

[Keith M. <kei...@us...>]

Umhm.  Why did you hijack the w32api announcement thread, to ask the 
unrelated question quoted below?  Please do not do this again; it 
isn't polite, and it isn't in your own interest, because you are more 
likely to simply be ignored.

New topic --> new thread, please.

AFAIK, no such implementation exists; there isn't one sanctioned 
specifically for use with MinGW.  However, you should be able to 
achieve the same capabilities, in a more portable fashion, using our 
C99 compliant snprintf() or vsnprintf() implementation.

If you feel inclined to provide an implementation, as PD or licensed 
under GPL/LPGL, I would consider hosting it as a contributed extra 
(stand alone) component for MinGW.
