Clean up GCC 8 errors

XMLWordPrintable

      GCC 8 reports errors like following:

      == Excess strncat limits ==

      src/hotspot/share/adlc/dfa.cpp:724:14: error: 'char* strncat(char*, const char*, size_t)' specified bound 2048 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
             strncat(string_buffer, "+", STRING_BUFFER_LENGTH);

      Buffers are declared like:
      char Expr::string_buffer[STRING_BUFFER_LENGTH];

      So all such usages should use "STRING_BUFFER_LENGTH - 1".

      Also:

      src/hotspot/share/classfile/classLoader.cpp:1233:53: error: argument to ‘sizeof’ in ‘char* strncpy(char*, const char*, size_t)’ call is the same expression as the source; did you mean to use the size of the destination? [-Werror=sizeof-pointer-memaccess]
         strncpy(&file_name[class_name_len], class_suffix, sizeof(class_suffix));

      class_suffix already includes NULL and strncpy adds one more, so it looks like there also should be " - 1".

      == Class arrays zeroing ===

      In multiple places there are errors reported like:

      src/hotspot/share/services/memoryManager.cpp:172:40: error: ‘void* memset(void*, int, size_t)’ clearing an object of non-trivial type ‘class MemoryUsage’; use assignment or value-initialization instead [-Werror=class-memaccess]
         memset(_before_gc_usage_array, 0, len);
                                              ^

      Can be fixed by casting to void*.
