[PATCH] mmc: use memmove to avoid strncpy on overlapping strings

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

 



Using GCC 8.2.0 I see the following error.

/usr/bin/gcc-8  -Wall -Werror -Wuninitialized -Wundef -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -g -O2 -Wp,-MMD,./.lsmmc.o.d,-MT,lsmmc.o -c lsmmc.c -o lsmmc.o
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494,
                 from lsmmc.c:46:
In function ‘strncpy’,
    inlined from ‘read_file’ at lsmmc.c:356:3:
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/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));
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Makefile:36: recipe for target 'lsmmc.o' failed
make: *** [lsmmc.o] Error 1

Hence replace the strncpy with memmove, since using strncpy on
overlapping strings is not allowed.
