GCC 8 produces the following warning for network.c:
In function ‘network_handle_nlmsg’,
inlined from ‘network_netlink_process’ at ../discover/network.c:726:3:
../discover/network.c:568:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 15 bytes from a string of length 16 [-Wstringop-truncation]
strncpy(interface->name, ifname, sizeof(interface->name) - 1);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../discover/network.c:586:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 15 bytes from a string of length 16 [-Wstringop-truncation]
strncpy(interface->name, ifname, sizeof(interface->name) - 1);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The code is safe since interface is allocated with talloc_zero() and we
could use -Wno-stringop-truncation to hide this but since this is the
only offender instead just copy the whole IFNAMSIZ bytes and explicitly
terminate the ifname buffer to be safe.
