libsafec-3.5-3 - 3.5-3 main

This library implements controversial C11 Annex K (TR24731) extensions.
They are most commonly known as _s variants implemented by MSVC, dubbed as
"secure" to the point of MSVC-related linters claiming standard functions
to be deprecated. However, they've been nearly-universally panned by other
libc implementors, the most recent discussion about Annex K removal and/or
deprecation being N1967. It is recommended to avoid using these functions
-- they're either prone to misuse or merely inefficient (measuring a
string's length twice being the most frequent case).
.
Yet despite these downsides, it is nice to have these functions available
when porting some software that originated on Windows.
.
This package includes runtime binaries for the library.
