10 dnl Persuade glibc <string.h> to declare stpncpy().
11 AC_REQUIRE([AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS])
13 dnl The stpncpy() declaration in lib/string.in.h uses 'restrict'.
14 AC_REQUIRE([AC_C_RESTRICT])
16 AC_REQUIRE([gl_HEADER_STRING_H_DEFAULTS])
18 dnl Both glibc and AIX (4.3.3, 5.1) have an stpncpy() function
19 dnl declared in <string.h>. Its side effects are the same as those
21 dnl stpncpy (dest, src, n)
22 dnl overwrites dest[0..n-1], min(strlen(src),n) bytes coming from src,
23 dnl and the remaining bytes being NULs. However, the return value is
24 dnl in glibc: dest + min(strlen(src),n)
25 dnl in AIX: dest + max(0,n-1)
26 dnl Only the glibc return value is useful in practice.
