Repository : ssh://git@open-mesh.org/alfred On branch : master commit 9f426172712daa5f502743070d4cca3309366dd4 Author: Sven Eckelmann &lt;sven(a)narfation.org&gt; Date: Sat May 24 13:44:07 2014 +0200 alfred: Force null termination of string after strncpy strncpy doesn't terminate the string with a '\0' character when the length of the destination memory location was shorter than the source string. Accessing it again with string related functions isn't safe after such a semi-failed copy and the caller has to handle it. The easiest way is to always set the last character in the destination buffer to '\0' after the strncpy was called.
