PREfast Warning 69 (Windows CE 5.0)
69 - Inefficient use of <function>.
Recommended Fix: Consider calling <function> instead.
This warning indicates that a call is being made to a format function in a situation where a call to some other, non-format function could have been made instead.
Calling the non-format function is likely to be faster and potentially safer.
When possible, PREfast recommends a specific preferable function to call. If PREfast cannot make a specific recommendation, it will recommend calling "a_safer_function."
Example
Defective Source
char buff[5];
sprintf(buff,
ptr);
Corrected Source
char buff[5];
strncpy(buff,
ptr,
5);
