I just wish it also had a src_size. As it is, if dest is bigger than src, and src isn't null-terminated, it'll read past the end of src. You can make a MIN macro and use MIN(dest_size, src_size), but shouldn't have to IMO.
That’s exactly my experience with most of C. You go through a history of half-assed changes and realize that you’re still halfway there in $current_year, wondering how many years will it take to fix any of these obvious flaws. Committee surely has its reasons but on the surface it seems completely non-practicing, to say the least.
