errors!

Then use a private wrapper.

Here's the new patch:

----
[PATCH] Add safe string manipulation functions

Deprecate direct use of strcpy(3)
The following string manipulation function has been added:

=C2=A0 - string_copy() : wrapper of strcpy(3)
=C2=A0 - string_ncopy(): wrapper of strncpy(3)

both function compose safe NULL terminated strings.

I check that the code most of the time raise an error if the path is =

too

long, so the new wrappers should be ok...

string_copy seems pointless, it's kinda equivalent to strcpy.
if (!dest || !src) should include an assert so it's easier to break in
the debugger.
