Re: Avoid incomplete copy string (src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c)

Hi.

In src/include/access/xlogbackup.h, the field *name*

has one byte extra to store null-termination.

But, in the function *do_pg_backup_start*,

I think that is a mistake in the line (8736):

memcpy(state->name, backupidstr, strlen(backupidstr));

memcpy with strlen does not copy the whole string.

strlen returns the exact length of the string, without

the null-termination.

So, I think this can result in errors,

like in the function *build_backup_content* (src/backend/access/transam/xlogbackup.c)

Where *appendStringInfo* expects a string with null-termination.

appendStringInfo(result, "LABEL: %s\n", state->name);

To fix, copy strlen size plus one byte, to include the null-termination.
