Hi, I know C compilers are rather dated now, but every time I try to compile C code on MSVC++ compilers I get loads of warnings up saying function names are deceprecated, meaning out of date.
Is it ok to use DevC++ for C programming instead? I am not sure if there is a way I can change the setting so that it reads C code and not C++ code. Any help on doing this or any good compilers for C would be greatly appriciated

Which functions? I don't get that.

It won't kill you.

Usually compilers tell from the extension. .c is C and .cpp is C++.
ok thanks onionknight. One function I get a warning is strcpy,
I use MSVC++ 2005
Haven't used 2005 so I can't tell why you're getting those warnings, but they shouldn't cause any problems. You could look up strcpy in the Help-file and see why it's deprecated.

It's only deprecated in microsoft's little view of the world.
But then they're not interested in C, they're pushing everyone into managed C++ and C#
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I recommend Pelles C

Just my two sense... but yes... you should be able to use DevC++ ok.
