I don't see any such exceptions from the rule here (now using GCC 9.2.0,
on MSys2+MinGW64).
I onlyl see the warning issued where the length argument to strncat() is
a variation of strlen(src).
All but one are string literals with their strlen()s spelled out as
constants. The remaining one is just a trivial variation of pattern
using a variable string:
size_t length = strlen (ptr);
strncat (*description, ptr, length);
