From: Jérémie Galarneau Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2022 21:19:27 +0000 (-0400) Subject: Clean-up: lttng-ctl: strnlen out of bounds access X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b25a59916106e5055be516f61f183a48f459b0b3;p=deliverable%2Flttng-tools.git Clean-up: lttng-ctl: strnlen out of bounds access gcc 11.2 produces the following warning. The lttng_strncpy helper assumes that 'src' is a null terminated string. As such, the use of a string literal (of size 37) in this specific example is correct as strnlen will not read beyond the null terminator. Replacing strnlen by strlen eliminates this warning. strnlen was used to short-circuit the source length check when it was larger than the destination. This optimization is unlikely to matter. Pascal-style strings should be used when string length computations are expected to be prohibitively expensive.
