[CMake] Re: [vtk-developers] deprecated CRT routines in MSVS8

[Andy Cedilnik]

Hi Goodwin, Yianis,

Maybe we should do this on CMake level. I would say that by default C
should not be deprecated. Then we could have a cmake variable let say
CMAKE_SECURE_API or something that would disable this behavior.

What do you think?
