We're intentionally not copying the nul terminator, but gcc rightly worries that this could be a coding mistake windows-cmdline-wrapper.c: In function 'main': windows-cmdline-wrapper.c:65:9: warning: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying 3 bytes from a string of the same length [-Wstringop-truncation] strncpy(name + len - 3, "exe", 3); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use memcpy() to make it clear we don't care about the nul terminator in the data we're copying.
