How can i overcome "unsafe" error?

I'm working on a project that is basically controlling a parking lot. And in some point of my code I use the function strcpy(), but I am getting an error saying that this function may be unsafe.
Here's the part of the code I'm using strcpy():

Automovel::Automovel(char * matr, Data ent, double comp) {
    //CONSTRUTOR POR ENUMERAÇAO:
    //RECEBE A MATRICULA, A DATA DE ENTRADA E O COMPRIMENTO DO CARRO
    //POSIÇAO E VALOR PAGO FICA INDEFINIDO
    matricula = new char[11];
    entry = new Data(ent);

    strcpy(matricula, matr);
    comprimento = comp;
    pos[0] = -1; pos[1] = -1;
    pago = -1;
}

I need to use the function, so, how can I solve this error?

Solution

  • Your issue is that strcpy is an 'unsafe' function so you need to disable the unsafe warning in Visual Studio so follow these steps.
