Re: new module 'strlcpy'

[Paul Eggert]

I'd really rather not promote the use of strlcpy in GNU code, as it is 
contrary to GNU style. Plus, I'm not a fan of __warn_unused_result__; in 
my experience it's too often more trouble than it's worth, and I expect 
this trouble would occur with strlcpy if we started using it.

That being said, I take your point that I should not have used strncpy 
to pacify GCC in that test case: I plead guilty to being lazy because 
the test-case code already has arbitrary limits.

Anyway, strlcpy is overkill here, as snprintf does the job just as well 
here, and is already standard and supported by Gnulib. So I propose the 
attached simpler patch instead.
