Guess what, MS has also formally requested that the C standard should be changed
to add the secure versions of the functions. This is an official ISO document:

No. A compiler must be able to compile conformant code with some well documented
settings.

This might include selecting "Disable language extensions" or adding some
command line switches. Perfectly acceptable.


The default will probably be "compile all known benchmarks for best result",
because that will score more points.
