SubjectRe: [PATCH] tools: perf: util: parse-events.c: Cleaning up missing null-terminate after strncpy call
From
Hi

I really do not want to complicate things here, both work course here.
But sptlcpy is definitely faster. But this is hardly time-critical
code, so maybe it looks better to use snprintf in both cases.

I vote for sptlcpy, but who decides?
Someone decides and I submit another patch :-)

Best regards
Rickard Strandqvist
