[PATCH 3/4] fstests: t_getcwd.c, fix a warning related to buffer overflow

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



GCC reports warning related to 'strncpy' and its specified bound being
equal to the destination buffer size.

t_getcwd.c: In function 'do_rename':
t_getcwd.c:40:2: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound 256 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
  strncpy(c_name, prefix, BUF_SIZE);

A buffer overflow is unlikely here because the only caller for
do_rename() sends a 16 char long %prefix and BUF_SIZE is defined as 256.

The change is made to reduce the buffer length in order to silence
compilation warning.
