Re: When were scanf_s functions introduced?

Thanks. So I guess I need to recompile with /MT to static
link code into my application to ensure backward compatiblity.

Yes unless somebody else has already installed MSVCR80.dll.

(a bit rusty on VC++ here ..)
I was looking at my compile options in VS 2005 and the /MD switch
is used for release by default. Does this mean that if I compile my
C code in VS 2005 with the default /MD compile switch, and specify
scanf_s() functions, the target platform will need updated dll (MSVCR80.dll)
with those functions since the CRT is not statically linked into my application?

They ship with the VS2005 CRT (and probably later CRTs). They were not present in the VS2003 (or earlier) CRTs.

When were the security-enhanced functions, like scanf_s, sscanf_s etc. introduced?
I noticed that they are not included in the PSDK April 2005 MSDN documentation,
but are included in VS 2005 docs.
