The strncpy doesn't null terminate the string because the size is too short by one byte. parse.c: In function ‘prepare_default_config’: parse.c:148:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ output truncated before terminating nul copying 8 bytes from a string of the same length [-Wstringop-truncation] strncpy(config->governor, "ondemand", 8); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Passing the length of the input argument to strncpy() is almost always wrong and provides no extra benefit over strcpy(), and since 'ondemand' fits within 15 bytes" and it null terminates the string its safe to use strcpy().
