[PATCH] test_hexdump: Replace strncpy with memcpy

From: Guenter Roeck
Date: Sun Jul 01 2018 - 16:57:41 EST


gcc 8.1.0 complains:

lib/test_hexdump.c:84:3: warning:
'strncpy' output truncated before terminating
nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length
lib/test_hexdump.c:82:19: note: length computed here

Using strncpy() is indeed less than perfect since the length of data to
be copied has already been determined with strlen(). Replace strncpy()
with memcpy() to address the warning and optimize the code a little.
