Hello Ion

It works for MinGW but not for MSC.

The reason is that for MSC in Defs.h we have a:

#pragma warning(disable : 4996)

Thank you very much Koldo for testing this one.

Mirek, Could you help me in this:
-

#pragma warning(disable : 4996)

was introduced intentionally?

Yes. Microsoft has deprecated half of ANSI C library. The result is that with this warning on, all other more important warnings are lost in thousands of 'deprecated' warnings.

Which I believe might be sort of problem with your proposal too... If we want to introduce something like this, perhaps we should rather introduce "on demand" method, like adding flag "NODEPRECATED" to main package config would expose use of all deprecated features.
