From 0a13c9e9defc771d8b101672f018b1b2de6b9e0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Eggert Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 08:17:18 -0800 Subject: Split large string section; add truncation advice * manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove. This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE. Anyway, the manual shouldn't encourage strncpy+strncat for this sort of thing. * manual/string.texi (Copying Strings and Arrays): Split into three sections Copying Strings and Arrays, Concatenating Strings, and Truncating Strings, as this section was way too long. All cross-referenced changed. Add advice about string-truncation functions. Remove misleading strncat example. --- ChangeLog | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 9140faf384..81e5791f06 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,16 @@ +2015-12-10 Paul Eggert + + Split large string section; add truncation advice + * manual/examples/strncat.c: Remove. + This example was misleading, as the code would have undefined + behavior if "hello" was longer than SIZE.
