I think this code can be simplified a lot with stringStream and without strtok,
so no need for fixed buffers (which may fail with longer path names) and no
need for writable string copies on the stack.
Something like this:
stringStream ss;
ss.print_raw(_mount_point);
const char* p1 = _root;
const char* p2 = cgroup_path;
int last_matching_dash_pos = -1;
for (int i = 0; *p1 == *p2 && *p1 != 0; i ++) {
if (*p1 == '/') {
last_matching_dash_pos = i;
}
p1++; p2++;
}
ss.print_raw(_root, last_matching_dash_pos);
// Now use ss.base() to access the assembled string
