[ Upstream commit 279ab04dbea1370d2eac0f854270369ccaef8a44 ] We are getting false positive gcc warning when we compile with gcc9 (9.1.1): CC jvmti/libjvmti.o In file included from /usr/include/string.h:494, from jvmti/libjvmti.c:5: In function ‘strncpy’, inlined from ‘copy_class_filename.constprop’ at jvmti/libjvmti.c:166:3: /usr/include/bits/string_fortified.h:106:10: error: ‘__builtin_strncpy’ specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Werror=stringop-overflow=] 106 | return __builtin___strncpy_chk (__dest, __src, __len, __bos (__dest)); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ jvmti/libjvmti.c: In function ‘copy_class_filename.constprop’: jvmti/libjvmti.c:165:26: note: length computed here 165 | size_t file_name_len = strlen(file_name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors As per Arnaldo's suggestion use strlcpy(), which does the same thing and keeps gcc silent.
