From d8fae2f64433cbe7f0389f965081348272b61ff9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Hongjiang Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 19:05:40 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Change trace event sample to use strlcpy instead of strncpy Strings should be copied with strlcpy instead of strncpy when they will later be printed via %s. This guarantees that they terminate with a NUL '\0' character and do not run pass the end of the allocated string. This is only for sample code, but it should stil represent a good role model.
