[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH 07/22] ppc: avoid buffer overrun: use pstrcpy, not str


From: Jim Meyering
Subject: [Qemu-ppc] [PATCH 07/22] ppc: avoid buffer overrun: use pstrcpy, not strncpy
Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 11:18:47 +0200

From: Jim Meyering <address@hidden>

A terminal NUL is required by caller's use of strchr.
It's better not to use strncpy at all, since there is no need
to zero out hundreds of trailing bytes for each iteration.
