User(s) can reproduce this bug

Including <strsafe.h> before STL header files like <string> yields many warnings from inside the STL header files.

There is a simple workaround: include <strsafe.h> after all STL headers, but I still think this should be fixed. Just including a bunch of headers that ship with the compiler should not trigger any warnings.

Visual Studio 2010

Try to compile the following code in a C++ project with MFC support:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0601

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS // those have no effect whatsoever
#define _SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS // ""

#include <afx.h>
#include <strsafe.h>
#include <string>

int main()
{
}
