On our MORE/bsd 4.3 system, if I use "lint -p" on these lines:
#include "stdio.h"
extern char * strcpy();
main()
{
char buf[20];
return strcpy(buf, "Hello, world.\n") != buf;
}
I get this output:
strcpy value is used, but none returned
On System V-based systems, no such warning is produced.
My question: Is BSD right, or is System V right? Are there systems on which
strcpy does not return a value?
Please mail replies to me, rather than posting an article to this news group.
Thanks.
