[llvm-commits] [PATCH] Replace uses of strcpy and memcpy in llvm-nm.cpp

[Martinez, Javier E]

Hi Chris,

The motivation is to avoid the risk of using the C string functions incorrectly and posing a security threat. Please look at the attached discussion for the background.

Thanks,
Javier

Hello,

This patch is to remove the use of strcpy in llvm-nm.cpp and replace it with format objects. Please review and commit if it looks good.

Why?  What's the motivation for doing this?

-Chris
