removing namespace std

[K.I.]

Sorry if this is not the right place to post.

I am replacing all strcpy with my own customized strcpy, hence I did
the following in a shared header file :
#define strcpy STRCPY
inline STRCPY(...)
{
....
}

somewhere in another part of the program called std::strcpy(), and
when I compiled it, it complained STRCPY is not member of std. Besides
changing std::strcpy, is there another way to allow std::strcpy to be
replaced, or to be rejected?

Thank you.

Good luck with that on implementations that have internal (as oposed to
normal external library function) strcpy() or implementations that have
strcpy() a macro itself (usually depending on other macros).

I think it's better to just change your code from calling strcpy to call
your own function, myns::strcpy(). Oh, and "don't use any strcpy(), they
are are unsafe"(tm).

Thank you for the solution, I am aware of the risk taken, the
implementation is just a temporary measure to detect a certain point
of failure, though it may not be the best way out.
