We think we've fixed all the GCC 8.2 stringop-truncation warnings now, so current QEMU git master and the 4.0 rc1 we've just tagged should both build cleanly. Please reopen the bug if we missed one somehow.

For example: #pragma GCC diagnostic push #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstringop-truncation" strncpy(buf + SD_MAX_VDI_LEN, tag, SD_MAX_VDI_TAG_LEN); #pragma GCC diagnostic pop This also happens on other sources, for example hw/acpi/core.c, so another option is to suppress it globally on CFLAGS (-Wno-stringop- truncation) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1803872/+subscriptions
