Subject: [PATCH] tools/lib/api/fs/fs.c: Fix misuse of strncpy()
Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2018 03:10:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180721021026.GQ14131@decadent.org.uk> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1132 bytes --]
gcc 8 reports:
In function 'fs__env_override',
inlined from 'fs__get_mountpoint' at fs/fs.c:228:6:
fs/fs.c:222:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 4096 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
strncpy(fs->path, override_path, sizeof(fs->path));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not convinced it makes sense to truncate the copied string here,
but since we're already doing so let's ensure it's still null-
terminated. Use strlcpy() instead.
