This isn’t a comment “against” this patch, but something I’ve been wondering recently and which raises a question about how to handle strcpy’s deprecation in particular. There is still one scenario where strcpy is useful: when GCC replaces it with its builtin, inline version... Would it be worth introducing a macro for strcpy-from-constant-string, which would check that GCC’s builtin is being used (when building with GCC), and fall back to strscpy otherwise?
