builtin_strncat/builtin_strcat reads memory pointed to by the first argument?


Hi,
In "ref_maybe_used_by_call_p_1", the comment says "strcat/strncat
additionally reads memory pointed to by the first argument." I do not
understand these words well, why the first string is read by the two
functions?

Thanks for help.
