I forgot my footnote, which was going to be: I'm bringing up that list not because I think it's necessarily a good list, but because it's _a_ list. And as I was recently subjected to an audit that referenced it, I've been thinking a lot about ban-lists and whether they are useful (and specifically for which functions). It's at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288454.aspx if you're curious, but again, that is absolutely not the ban-list I am working towards. To what I posted already, I'd probably add strcat() and vsprintf() based on discussions here, and then call it done. -Peff
