`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is _not_ the case for `strncpy`!
Please don't send new patches in reply to old patches or serieses, this makes it harder for both people and tools to understand what is going on - it can bury things in mailboxes and make it difficult to keep track of what current patches are, both for the new patches and the old ones.
Hm, I see "X-Mailer: b4 0.12.3". Is this a default behavior of b4? (If so, that needs fixing.)
