Subject: Silence strncpy warning emitted by GCC 8 in lttng_strncpy()
X-Git-Url: http://git.efficios.com/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=c3ef76cdae5dbe3088de71a4f7d93a33d592d3d5

Silence strncpy warning emitted by GCC 8 in lttng_strncpy()

GCC 8 warns if the destination's length is passed to strncpy,
since that could cause the destination to not be NULL-terminated.

This is not a concern for the lttng_strncpy since it checks
that the source must not be truncated. Therefore, it is safe
to simply use strcpy().
