[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 4/5] migration: Fix stringop-truncation warning

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

From: Marc-André Lureau <address@hidden>

GCC 8 added a -Wstringop-truncation warning:

  The -Wstringop-truncation warning added in GCC 8.0 via r254630 for
  bug 81117 is specifically intended to highlight likely unintended
  uses of the strncpy function that truncate the terminating NUL
  character from the source string.

This new warning leads to compilation failures:

    CC      migration/global_state.o
  qemu/migration/global_state.c: In function 'global_state_store_running':
  qemu/migration/global_state.c:45:5: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 100 
equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
       strncpy((char *)global_state.runstate, state, 
sizeof(global_state.runstate));
       
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make: *** [qemu/rules.mak:69: migration/global_state.o] Error 1

Adding an assert is enough to silence GCC.

(alternatively, we could hard-code "running")
