Source: safeclib Priority: optional Maintainer: Adam Borowski Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12), unicode-data Standards-Version: 4.4.0 Section: libs Homepage: https://rurban.github.io/safeclib/ Vcs-Browser: https://github.com/kilobyte/safeclib/tree/debian Vcs-Git: https://github.com/kilobyte/safeclib -b debian Package: libsafec-dev Section: libdevel Architecture: any Multi-Arch: same Depends: libsafec-3.5-3 (= ${binary:Version}), ${misc:Depends} Description: "safe" C libc extensions (Annex K) - dev This library implements controversial C11 Annex K (TR24731) extensions. They are most commonly known as _s variants implemented by MSVC, dubbed as "secure" to the point of MSVC-related linters claiming standard functions to be deprecated. However, they've been nearly-universally panned by other libc implementors, the most recent discussion about Annex K removal and/or deprecation being N1967. It is recommended to avoid using these functions -- they're either prone to misuse or merely inefficient (measuring a string's length twice being the most frequent case). . Yet despite these downsides, it is nice to have these functions available when porting some software that originated on Windows. . This package includes development headers.
