--- Comment #1 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Ditto for strdup vs strndup, although there it might be worth considering
diagnosing only calls where the strndup bound is equal the size of the source
array, as in:

char a[4], *p, *q;

void f (void)
{
  p = __builtin_strdup (a);              // possibly unsafe? if not then...
  // ...
  q = __builtin_strndup (a, sizeof a);   // this could be replaced by strdup()
}
