Cindy,

At a higher level, what are the plans for gcc 8?  Is this really part of the security strategy or part of moving the OS forward?  All this needs to be discussed as we kick off the work in the security group's efforts.  Right now, all the work feels adhoc.

Regards,
Ken Y

    Title has been changed.  It is now:
    
    [Bug] GCC 8 highlights potentially-risky strncpy() usage in fm-common
