GCC 8 new warning prevents builds to success since quite some time. First report on the mailing list is in July 2018: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-07/msg03723.html
Various intents has been sent to fix this: - Incorrectly using g_strlcpy() https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-08/msg03705.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-08/msg03706.html - Using assert() and strpadcpy() https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-11/msg03938.html - Use #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wstringop-truncation" https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-12/msg04261.html - adding an inline wrapper with said pragma in there https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-12/msg04261.html - -Wno-stringop-truncation is the makefile https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-12/msg04261.html This series replace the strncpy() calls by strpadcpy() which seemed to me the saniest option.
