Hi!

Here's a simpler implementation of the default arguments in strscpy(9).
It avoids having to build concatenated names, the ignored '...' in
__strscpy0, counting arguments, etc.  It's replaced by a quite simple
macro that takes two arguments, and picks the last non-empty one.

It requires a C23 feature, but it's supported as a GNU extension in
GNU C11 mode, and was implemented a long time ago, so it should be fine.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
