From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2018 20:13:15 +0000 (-0800) Subject: test_hexdump: use memcpy instead of strncpy X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1286ed7158e9b62787508066283ab0b8850b518;p=linux.git test_hexdump: use memcpy instead of strncpy New versions of gcc reasonably warn about the odd pattern of strncpy(p, q, strlen(q)); which really doesn't make sense: the strncpy() ends up being just a slow and odd way to write memcpy() in this case. Apparently there was a patch for this floating around earlier, but it got lost.
