[PATCH bpf-next] libbpf: poison strlcpy()
Posted by Rong Tao 2 years, 8 months ago 
From: Rong Tao <rongtao@cestc.cn>

Since commit 9fc205b413b3("libbpf: Add sane strncpy alternative and use
it internally") introduce libbpf_strlcpy(), thus add strlcpy() to a poison
list to prevent accidental use of it.

On my musl system, I believe this broke compilation, as string.h defines
strlcpy, and is included after this poisoning when compiling strset.c

FWIW, I could work around it by adding
#include <string.h>
above
#include <libbpf_internal.h>
in strset.c, since the poison doesn't apply to symbols that existed
before it ran, but this feels like a kludge, and not in the spirit of
the original poisoning patch..

I'm curious what the proper workaround should be for a libc that defines
strlcpy.

Thanks,
Boris

Let's move this discussion into [0]? There is a similar issue for
uclibc it seems.
