Consider using strerror_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details. While I can work around this by using _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS, that flies in the face of what Boost is about - namely quality. I don't want to do something that weakens my ability to detect unsafe code." Bugs closed To Be Determined exception Boost 1.61.0 Optimization fixed
