From: Philippe Mathieu-Daudé <f4...@amsat.org> 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. Here the next line indeed unconditionally zeroes the last byte, but 1/ the buffer has been calloc'd, so we don't need to add an extra byte, and 2/ we called vduse_name_is_invalid() which checked the string length, so we can simply call strcpy().
