It does make sense. strncpy copies N bytes, when what you want to do is copy N characters from a multi-byte encoded string. You don't want to the copy to stop somewhere in the middle of a multi-byte character sequence because the result simply wouldn't make sense. >>> and the macro: >>> gtext* g_text_strncpy (gtext*dest,const gtext*src,gsize n); Because having 2 implementations of a function and having 1 automatically chosen by a pre-processor macro is one of the worst API decisions that Microsoft has ever made. And that's saying something. _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
