From 77a1326f64c3245ae9d2f9297abec5c8a0f11f58 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Stitt Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2024 14:13:14 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Replace multiple deprecated strncpy with memcpy strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. String copy operations involving manual pointer offset and length calculations followed by explicit NUL-byte assignments are best changed to either strscpy or memcpy. strscpy is not a drop-in replacement as @len would need a one subtracted from it to avoid truncating the source string. To not sabotage readability of the current code, use memcpy (retaining the manual NUL assignment) as this unambiguously describes the desired behavior.
