<p>A pointer to this function can be passed to <a href="set_constraint_handler_s" title="c/error/set constraint handler s">set_constraint_handler_s</a> to establish a runtime constraints violation handler.  As with all bounds-checked functions, <code>abort_handler_s</code> is only guaranteed to be available if <code>__STDC_LIB_EXT1__</code> is defined by the implementation and if the user defines <code>__STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__</code> to the integer constant <code>1</code> before including <code>&lt;stdlib.h&gt;</code>.</p>

abort_handler_s was called in response to a runtime-constraint violation.
 
The runtime-constraint violation was caused by the following expression in strcpy_s:
(s1max &lt;= (s2_len=strnlen_s(s2, s1max)) ) (in string_s.c:62)
 
Note to end users: This program was terminated as a result
of a bug present in the software. Please reach out to your
