std::iterator, pointers and VC++ warning C4996

``` int *arr = (int*) malloc(100*sizeof(int)); int *arr_copy = (int*) malloc(100*sizeof(int)); srand(123456789L); for( int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { arr[i] = rand(); arr_copy[i] = arr[i]; } // ------ do stuff with arr ------ // reset arr... std::copy(arr_copy, arr_copy+100, arr); ``` while compiling this I get this warning for `std::copy()`: ``` c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 10.0\vc\include\xutility(2227): warning C4996: 'std::_Copy_impl': Function call with parameters that may be unsafe - this call relies on the caller to check that the passed values are correct. To disable this warning, use -D_SCL_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See documentation on how to use Visual C++ 'Checked Iterators' ``` I know how to disable/ignore the warning, but is there is a simple one liner solution to make a "checked iterator" out of an unchecked pointer? Something like (I know cout is not an unchecked pointer like int*, but just e.g.): ``` ostream_iterator<int> out(cout," "); std::copy(arr_copy, arr_copy+numElements, out); ``` I don't want to write a whole new specialized `class my_int_arr_output_iterator : iterator...`. But can I use one of the existing iterators? ---edit--- As there are many many questions abt my usage of c-style-arrays and malloc instead of STL containers, let me just say that I'm writing a small program to test different sorting algorithms' performance and memory usage. The code snippet you see above is a specialized (original code is template class with multiple methods, testing one algorithm for different number of elements in arrays of different types) version specific to the problem. In other words, I do know how to do this using STL containers (vector) and their iterators (vector::begin/end). What I didn't know is what I asked. Thanks though, hopefully someone else would benefit from the answers if not me.
