Strcpy and strcat

Projects Programming

As one would expect, there is a small code penalty for the SafeString library over the standard string processing library.:

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  char result[5];
  int count;
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) ;

//  count = strlcpy(result, "Test", sizeof(result));  // Flash: 10540, data: 1516
  strcpy(result, (char *) "Test");                    //        10252        1516
  Serial.println(result);
}
void loop() {
}

Personally, I'm not in favor of runtime checks in the code. I have no good reason for feeling that way, but it makes me feel like I'm using C with training wheels.
