FlexSim Module DLL Projects generated by the Wizards available in the current SDK are configured to use warning level 2 (/W2):
Microsoft recommends using at least warning level 3 (/W3) for production, and level 4 (/W4) for new projects if possible.
However, if the project is configured to use /W3 level, the Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 compilers will emit 44 warnings in the SDK headers:
- Multiple C4244, C4267 (conversion with a possible loss of data)
- Multiple C4996 (use of unsafe functions like sprintf)
The number of SDK warnings on a new project goes up to 170 with /W4.
Most of these warnings are trivial to fix or suppress. It would be beneficial for the platform to use /W3 warning level in the new project templates, and fix SDK headers. I may prepare a pull request for https://bitbucket.org/flexsim/flexsim-module-sdk if necessary.
Edit: the bitbucket repo doesn't allow to submit pull requests, so I post a patch here: https://pastebin.com/AAgn5AqF
