I think that's why strlcpy was invented, to deal with the issues with strncpy. http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html There's an implementation here (used in glib), though you could probably find more. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2000-May/msg00029.html Do you really think it's worth making a macro rather than just a normal function?
