deprecated STL functions / Safe Standard C++ library

Hi,

I am using Visual Studio 2005. I am playing around and learning to use the
icstring class mentioned in this URL for case-insensitive string
comparision:
http://www.josuttis.com/libbook/str...string.hpp.html

When I try to write a function like this

void func1(icstring copyString)
{
}

I get the following errors:

1>Compiling...
1>TempConsoleApp.cpp
1>c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\iosfwd(582) :

1> [

1> ]

However, I am able to write a function with a signature like this without
getting any warnings:

void func2(icstring& refString)
{
}

Does anyone know what I should do to be able to be able to pass around the
icstring class as either a copy or a reference?

Thanks in advance,
Arvind.

Define _SECURE_SCL macro to 0.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Thanks for your response Igor.

How would the code have to changed so that I can use the checked iterators
instead of just turning it off? I would prefer to use the checked iterators
if possible.

Thanks,
Arvind.
