Compiler Warning (level 4) C4295
'array' : array is too small to include a terminating null character
An array was initialized but the last character in the array is not a null; accessing the array as a string may produce unexpected results.
Example
The following sample generates C4295. To fix this issue, you could declare the array size larger, to hold a terminating null from the initializer string, or you could use an array initializer list to make the intent clear that this is an array of char
, not a null-terminated string.
// C4295.c
// compile with: /W4
int main() {
char a[3] = "abc"; // C4295
char b[3] = {'d', 'e', 'f'}; // No warning
a[0] = b[2];
}
