    net: ena: gcc 8: fix compilation warning · f9133088
    Sameeh Jubran authored
    GCC 8 contains a number of new warnings as well as enhancements to existing
    checkers. The warning - Wstringop-truncation - warns for calls to bounded
    string manipulation functions such as strncat, strncpy, and stpncpy that
    may either truncate the copied string or leave the destination unchanged.
    
    In our case the destination string length (32 bytes) is much shorter than
    the source string (64 bytes) which causes this warning to show up. In
    general the destination has to be at least a byte larger than the length
    of the source string with strncpy for this warning not to showup.
    
    This can be easily fixed by using strlcpy instead which already does the
    truncation to the string. Documentation for this function can be
    found here:
