Subject: [PATCH 3/4] kdb: Replace deprecated strcpy() with memcpy() in parse_grep()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 20:11:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818181153.661431-3-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250818181153.661431-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
strcpy() is deprecated; use memcpy() instead.
We can safely use memcpy() because we already know the length of the
source string 'cp' and that it is guaranteed to be NUL-terminated within
the first KDB_GREP_STRLEN bytes.
