buffer.c
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
char buf[6];
const char *name = "namara";
for (int i = 0; i <= strlen(name); i++) {
buf[i] = name[i];
}
}
This overflows buf by one byte. Find it and fix it with a minimal change.
Answer
Make room for the terminator: char buf[7];. "namara" is 6 bytes plus a NUL, so it needs 7. The loop's <= is correct — it's meant to copy the NUL too — but buf was one byte too small to receive it.
