[PATCH 30/38] misc/fuse2fs: avoid error-prone strncpy() pattern

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

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

'strncpy(dst, src, strlen(src))' is usually wrong, as it doesn't copy
the null terminator.  For this reason, it causes a -Wstringop-truncation
warning with gcc 8 and later.

The code happens to be correct anyway, since the destination buffer is
zero-initialized.  But to avoid relying on this, let's just copy the
terminating null.
