error C3861: 'sprintf_s': identifier not found

[Poscik]

It's not the first time, when I have that problem. I wrote very simple mfd with secure functions, but I can't compile it. I hace that error which is in topic. Compiler is configured like in OrbiterWiki article. I tried to compile source on VC2005 and VC2008. In both I couldn't do that. Included headers:

#include "windows.h"
#include "orbitersdk.h"
#include "ssua.h"
#include "math.h"
#include "stdio.h"

What's wrong?

Hmm... maybe you have not updated the platform SDK since 2003?

 

[Poscik]

Heh, no In 2003 I didn't know what is C++. If I remember, I have installed Platform SDK 2 years ago.

 

[Urwumpe]

Then, you should have the functions in the standard C libraries... <cstdio> for example.

 

[Poscik]

When I replace "stdio.h" to <cstdio>, I have the same effect
And If I have this problem, I can't compile CRT MFD too...

Did you try compiling before you started your own MFD? Could it possibly be your code missing a ';' or something...

 

[Poscik]

I made small experiment. I wrote program for command prompt, which is using sprintf_s. I included <stdio.h> and VC2008 built it with no errors and no warning. Very strange situation...

 

[Urwumpe]

Yeah, looks like your settings lack an important system library maybe.

 

[Poscik]

I tried to change a lot of options... no result.
Here is my configuration:

 

[Urwumpe]

And do you have any #defines missing in the beginning of the program? I think you need to define ORBITER_MODULE, but I doubt this causes your problem.

 

[Poscik]

First few lines from CRT MFD:

#define STRICT
#define ORBITER_MODULE

#include "windows.h"
#include "orbitersdk.h"
#include "PanelR2.h"
#include "PanelC2.h"
#include "vc/MDU.h"
#include "vc/vc_defs.h"
#include "CRT.h"
#include "stdio.h"
#include "dps/IDP.h"
#include "dps/MasterTimingUnit.h"
...

Just replace sprintf_s with plain old sprintf and throw away the second argument (buffer size). Should work.
The warnings about 'deprecated function' can be either ignored, or suppressed via

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

before you include standard libraries. A more radical approach is to put this #define right into "crtdefs.h", that is included in every CRT header (that's what I did).

Thank you very much Wraith Everything is working
