    perf help: Remove needless use of strncpy() · b6313899
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Since we make sure the destination buffer has at least strlen(orig) + 1,
    no need to do a strncpy(dest, orig, strlen(orig)), just use strcpy(dest,
    orig).
    
    This silences this gcc 8.2 warning on Alpine Linux:
    
      In function 'add_man_viewer',
          inlined from 'perf_help_config' at builtin-help.c:284:3:
      builtin-help.c:192:2: error: 'strncpy' output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
        strncpy((*p)->name, name, len);
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      builtin-help.c: In function 'perf_help_config':
      builtin-help.c:187:15: note: length computed here
        size_t len = strlen(name);
                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
