Subject: [PATCH 4/4] kdb: Replace deprecated strcpy() with helper function in kdb_defcmd()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 20:11:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818181153.661431-4-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250818181153.661431-1-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

strcpy() is deprecated; use the new helper function kdb_strdup_dequote()
instead. In addition to string duplication similar to kdb_strdup(), it
also trims surrounding quotes from the input string if present.

kdb_strdup_dequote() also checks for a trailing quote in the input
string which was previously not checked.
