[ace-users] I write a function named nstrsncpy

[=?GB2312?B?wO65+se/?=]

hi, all:

I wrote a function,

unsigned int nstrsncpy(char *dst, const char *src, unsigned int maxlen)
{
  unsigned int len = 0;

  if (dst==0 || src==0)
    return len;

  --maxlen;
  while (*src && len<maxlen)
  {
    *dst = *src;
    dst++;
    src++;
    len++;
  }
  *dst = '\0';

  return len;
}

It copy char array 'src' to char array 'dst'. If the length of src is >= maxlen, It just copy maxlen-1 bytes. It will add '\0' to dst at the end, so it's safe for the caller.
At last, it returns copied bytes.

I use this function to replace following:

int len = strlen(src);
if(len >= maxlen-1)
  len = maxlen-1;
memcpy(dst, src, len);
dst[len] = '\0';

====>
int len = nstrsncpy(dst, src, sizeof(dst));


Anyone can give me an advise?

thanks a lot.
