Or as i discovered, points where a user can use a bufferover and inject shellcode.... remote code execution :(

But yeah, see my previous post, I just felt the need to demonstraight why warnings are there for a reason Nothing against you of course

Oh I definitely agree warnings should be fixed (and I like the annecdote "warnings are errors, errors are worse errors" hehe - I think I'll start using that at work. :/ )

All I was suggesting is that you can still compile and execute with them, just not as fully optimized as one would hope (including haXxoR hoLeZ). I get ya. Frooooaaaak!

Alright ..now I'm TOTALLY confused on this. Sometimes when I compile zone, I get these 32 deprecation warnings, and then sometimes when I compile it, I get no warnings at all... This is the same build too, I haven't switched source code. *confused*

Are you performing a Clean then Compile each time? If you are only changing 1 file, that's all it's going to compile.
(usually)
Unless it's something that is used across many files - like a header.

Or, maybe it assumes you know about the earlier warnings and doesn't want to be insulting.

Heh ...doesn't want to be insulting ..you crack me up Anyway, no I wasn't cleaning first ...I suppose that's why.

Theres 2 types of compiling.

1 is a "Rebuild" or a "Clean Compile" which will compile every source file and create its object file, then link them all together to make a .exe

Then there is a "Batch" Build, which, only compiles the file you have changed, then uses the new object file, it links it all the existing ones to give you your exe.

It just saves you recompiling the entire project every time you make a change.

Warnings / Errors / etc are only shown on compile.
