Hey everyone, We've recently discovered that gcc-8 likes to complain (pointlessly about non-bugs) a lot when compiling LXC on ArchLinux. This breaks the build process. We have a set of patches that should fix this. They are all already backported to at least stable-3.0:

It is replaced by a strlcpy() implementation that will be included automatically on systems using libcs that don't provide an implementation. Our official coding style now states: > #### Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() > > When copying strings always use strlcpy() instead of strncpy(). The > advantage of strlcpy() is that it will always append a `\0` byte to the > string. > > Unless you have a valid reason to accept truncation you must check whether > truncation has occurred, treat it as an error, and handle the error > appropriately. Thanks! Christian
