Yes, this is a little irritating. Back in the time when I used to do C, I always used strncpy and then stuck a '0' at the end of the new string.

If some joker puts a little extra data in a sqlite IP address, and you've got a bug that could take forever to find. Standard strncpy is also pretty evil, because it doesn't guarantee a null at the end. I know you're all too smart to be so sloppy, and this little lecture is totally redundant and unnecessary. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
