At least not for the cases where the source is a string literal - that just gives worse code generation (because gcc doesn't know anything about strscpy or strlcpy), and while a run-time (silent) truncation is better than a run-time buffer overflow, wouldn't it be even better with a build time error? Something like /** static_strcpy - run-time version of static initialization * * @d: destination array, must be array of char of known size * @s: source, must be a string literal * * This is a simple wrapper for strcpy(d, s), which checks at build-time that the strcpy() won't overflow. In most cases (for short strings), gcc won't even emit a call to strcpy but rather just do a few immediate stores into the destination, e.g. 0: c7 07 66 6f 6f 00 movl $0x6f6f66,(%rdi) * for strcpy(d->name, "foo"). */ #define static_strcpy(d, s) ({ \ static_assert(__same_type(d, char[]), "destination must be char array"); \ static_assert(__same_type(s, const char[], "source must be a string literal"); \ static_assert(sizeof(d) >= sizeof("" s ""), "source does not fit in destination"); \ strcpy(d, s); \ }) The "" s "" trick guarantees that s is a string literal - it probably doesn't give a very nice error message, but that's why I added the redundant type comparison to a const char[] which should hopefully give a better clue. Rasmus PS: Yes, we already have a fortified strcpy(), but for some reason it doesn't catch the common case where we're populating a char[] member of some struct.
