Oh strcpy doesn't return the number of bytes copied, which is what the
users here need.
(The size of dst is also unknown).
Any thoughts on?
/* strcpy but return the length of src and requires a literal. */
#define strcpy_literal(dst, src) ({ \
strcpy(dst, src ""); \
__builtin_strlen(src); \
})
Uses a trick I learned from Abseil for ensuring that a parameter must
be a string literal. The C preprocessor will concatenate those
strings, or parsing will fail.
Then these drivers can do:
return strcpy_literal(buf, "physical device - not checking\n");
If that's not blood curdling, any thoughts on where best to place this
to hide it from others? Maybe just define it in both .c files?
