Hey, This patch series removes the odd behaviour for strncpy/strcat when using MSVC++. It does so by implementing vdagent_strncpy_s and vdagent_strcat_s for mingw. On MSVC++, the system versions are used rather than our own reimplementation. This has been tested with a mingw build, I did not give a try to a MSVC++ build. Christophe
