The standard strncat and strncpy functions do not guarantee that the
destination buffer will be null-terminated. This means that your changes
are vulnerable to many buffer overflow attacks.
Yes, but then those functions are used incorrectly. If the buffer is too
short, the cpy/cat operation
Few general notes on this:
My idea if using new functions provided by libraries (if they exist) and include
local copies if they don't is that often times vendor provided functions may be
much better optimized that locally included ones.
Also, for some functions (like strlcpy), it may be a

The plugin logic has pluses and minuses - the ability to right plugins

The problem with drawing a bright line is that somebody is inevitably

Which the C11 standard kindly removed. The stupidest decision by any standards

Going back to to the original thread - certainly win32 is used, and I also do

I'm not sure if there is any conditional code based on platforms in crossfire

Solaris support seems like a good idea to keep.
I think some of that might be sound code for the client - though even
on linux, it seems that the sound

The real question is: what is the future of Crossfire ? I agree to Nicolas
that focussing on game content is more important than code. However, the
current code architecture restricts the maintenance and addition of new
features. I'd like to improve this situation.
