Should I bother with these?

Only if you want to...

One can easily prevent buffer overruns using the standard C/C++ libraries. Those are just API's that enforce it, so you don't have too.

I want to move over to using the strsafe functions. They are far superior to the woefully crap strn*** functions.

The only query I have is the availability on different compilers. Is there a working implementation of the strsafe functions for Dev C++?

StrSafe function support:

MSVC: Yes
LCC-WIN32: Yes

Dev C++/Windows gcc: ???
Borland C++: ???
