Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] gcc8.1: fix strncpy bounds warnings
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2018 19:36:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <153001299022.15144.1325335174388192168.stgit@mail.warmcat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <153001243122.15144.2264749610797891759.stgit@mail.warmcat.com>

These warnings are coming on default Fedora 28 build and probably others using gcc 8.1

../shared.c: In function ?expand_macro?:
../shared.c:483:3: warning: ?strncpy? specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]
   strncpy(name, value, len);
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../shared.c:480:9: note: length computed here
   len = strlen(value);
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~

strncpy with a computed length via strlen is usually
not the right thing.
