Sorry, I don't understand the point you're making.
The phrase "re-inventing wheels" wasn't intended to imply that
there's any real invention going on, merely that it's a waste of
time and effort.
You seem to be advocating (a) leaving Microsoft's compiler
configured so that it rejects calls to the standard strcmp()
function, presumably for security reasons, and then (b) writing own
equivalent, and equally insecure, mystrcmp() function and using it
instead of strcmp().
Is that really what you're advocating? If so, it simply makes no
sense to me. Am I missing something?
And I'm still curious about the default settings. My understanding
is that Microsoft's C compiler merely *warns* about strcmp() in its
default mode. You seem to be saying that it instead treats it as
a fatal error. Is that really the case?
