It is ok - strcpy either copies memory, or raises SIGSEGV. That's ok. It reported error.
About scaling: Yes, it is true that checking for this condition would require one mov somewhere inn fclose. Do you think that this is an issue?
And: It behaved incorrectly: you gave it some invalid handle. It did not *write* anywhere. If you passed invalid handle, that was valid enough for data to go *somewhere*, returning success would be acceptable.
