That's actually a good point (pun intended?) K&R's strcpy function, the one I posted, is byte-oriented. (Yeah, I know, a char isn't always a byte, and a byte isn't always 8 bits, but I'll use those definitions as reference points). That strcpy function breaks down with multibyte languages like Chinese. The second byte of a double-byte character could be 0, so a bytewise copy could easily stop before the end of a string. I wonder what the ramifications will be for Windows Vista. Will a char still be an 8-bit byte? And how about Unicode? Can you have a 0 byte in a Unicode character? I suspect there is a fair amount of strcpy rewriting in our future.
