There are some places where I use strncpy for a character array which
is *not* a null-terminated string. What is the preferred alternative
for me? I can suppress the problem when gcc complains about it using:
+ __u8 s_first_error_func[32] __nonstring; /* function where the error happened */
But if we do a blanket deprecation, what should I use instead?
