Re: [patch #3686] Trivial patch to change sprintf to snprintf in libltdl

[Bob Friesenhahn]

Since this topic came up, it is worth mentioning something that I 
learned today.  Microsoft's Visual C++ 8.0 warns about using 
"deprecated" functions.  To us these are standard ANSI C library 
functions we have been using for years and are hardly deprecated.  As 
a result, the Microsoft compiler will produce oodles of warnings for 
open source software.

Microsoft recommends using their latest standard Strsafe.h functions. 
See 
"http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/resources/strings/usingstrsafefunctions.asp"; 
for information on these interfaces.
