[PATCH] lsmmc: replace strncpy with memmove on overlapping memory copy

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

 



here source and destination addresses are overlapping so using memmove is
going to be more efficient.

Additionally, the bounded size for copy is overflowing for first copy

In function 'strncpy',
    inlined from 'read_file' at lsmmc.c:356:3:
/mnt/a/oe/build/tmp/work/cortexa7t2hf-neon-vfpv4-bec-linux-gnueabi/mmc-utils/0.1-r0/recipe-sysroot/usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: error: '__builtin_strncpy' accessing 4096 bytes at offsets 0 and 1 overlaps 4095 bytes at offset 1 [-Werror=restrict]
   return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest));
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
