One of the "legitimate" uses of strncpy() is copying a NUL-terminated string into a fixed-size non-NUL-terminated character array. To avoid the weaknesses and ambiguity of intent when using strncpy(), provide replacement functions that explicitly distinguish between trailing padding and not, and require the destination buffer size be discoverable by the compiler. For example: struct obj { int foo; char small[4] __nonstring; char big[8] __nonstring; int bar; }; struct obj p; /* This will truncate to 4 chars with no trailing NUL */ strncpy(p.small, "hello", sizeof(p.small)); /* p.small contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l' */ /* This will NUL pad to 8 chars. */ strncpy(p.big, "hello", sizeof(p.big)); /* p.big contains 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '\0', '\0', '\0' */ When the "__nonstring" attributes are missing, the intent of the programmer becomes ambiguous for whether the lack of a trailing NUL in the p.small copy is a bug. Additionally, it's not clear whether the trailing padding in the p.big copy is _needed_. Both cases become unambiguous with: strtomem(p.small, "hello"); strtomem_pad(p.big, "hello", 0); See also https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/90 Expand the memcpy KUnit tests to include these functions.
