* Resolution Update from None to Won't Fix
Comment:
I see similar warnings, but only when I save an update to any page; I do not
see such warnings when simply viewing pages. In any case, I would prefer to see
the site migrate to WordPress, and am no longer interested in maintaining
Drupal content. I ignore the warnings, and would suggest that you do likewise.
Unless someone volunteers to assist in Drupal site maintenance, this is a
"won't fix".

We're about to define a prototype in https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/
pull/356/files for MinGW in Expat ourselves now but it seems like the real
fix would be to have it in MinGW for everyone — what do you think?
Yes, it definitely makes sense that MinGW should declare rand_s() — in
<stdlib.h> — but exposed only for _WINNT_WIN32 >= _WINNT_WIN32_VISTA ||
__MSVCRT_VERSION__ >= __MCR80_DLL. However, don't be misled by Microsoft's
(bogus) claims that rand_s() is somehow more "secure" than rand(). Yes, it it
may generate random numbers with much greater entropy — because, let's face it,
rand() exhibits no entropy at all — but more "secure" it is not, (beyond
securing a modicum of Microsoft lock-in, since it conforms to no portable
standard whatsoever).
On a side note, msvcrt-xref.pdf says that rand_s is not contained in
Windows XP but contained in Windows Vista an after.
What it actually says is that WinXP's MSVCRT.DLL exports no such symbol as
rand_s(), and that is, in fact, the case.
The way I read the MS docs they imply availability in Windows XP but it
might be wishful thinking — if you know for sure, I'd be interested in more
details.
Nope. What Microsoft's docs actually say is that their rand_s() implementation
depends on the RtlGenRandom() MS-Windows API, which itself was introduced in
WinXP. rand_s() may be used on WinXP (and later) by linking with non-free
MSVCR80.DLL (or later), but not when linking with system supplied MSVCRT.DLL,
prior to Vista. On Win9x, or Win2K, rand_s() must fail, even if linked with
MSVCR80.DLL, because the underlying RtlGenRandom() API is not supported. On
WinXP, MinGW cannot offer rand_s() for (default) linking with MSVCRT.DLL; only
from Vista onwards, can we offer it universally.

Hi!
Windows introduced function rand_s some time and while I find mention of it in
MinGW's msvcrt-xref.pdf I cannot find a signature for it in mingwrt 5.2.2
headers. Are there plans to add a prototype to MinGW? We're about to define a
prototype in https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/356/files for MinGW in
Expat ourselves now but it seems like the real fix would be to have it in MinGW
for everyone — what do you think?
On a side note, msvcrt-xref.pdf says that rand_s is not contained in Windows XP
but contained in Windows Vista an after. The way I read the MS docs they imply
availability in Windows XP but it might be wishful thinking — if you know for
sure, I'd be interested in more details.
Thanks and best, Sebastian
