Better to use

memcpy(entry->name, "QEMU VVFAT", 11);

memcpy() doesn't check bounds.

Relying on such things is bad form because it isn't obvious to a casual reader what is happening. You have to know that entry->name is 8 chars long and realize that it will overflow into extension. Since that info is all the way in the structure definition, the result is difficult to read code.

Any other discussions about whether the standards allow such a thing or whether tools are "stupid" is irrelevant. It's a neat trick but it results in more difficult to maintain code.
