Travis Vitek commented on STDCXX-829:
-------------------------------------
Note that changing the {{strcpy}} to {{memcpy (b, a, n)}} does not work either.

> "t.cpp", line 12, procedure main: warning #20206-D: Out of bound access (In
> expression "strcpy((char*)b, (char*)a)", variable "b" [t.cpp:6]
> (type: char [16]) has byte range [0 .. 15], writing byte range [0 ..
