void kjb_buff_cat
(
	char *s1,
	const char *s2,
	size_t max_len
);

DESCRIPTION

This routine is just like kjb_strncat except that truncated copying due to buffer size is treated as a bug and some additional checks are made in development code. Specifically, the buffer size must be greater than 8 which, amoung other things, gaurds against buffer sizes derived from the sizeof() operator applied to pointers.

MACROS

BUFF_CAT(char s1[], char* s2) The buffer size parameter is set to sizeof(s1). Using sizeof to set the buffer size is recomended where applicable, as the code will not be broken if the buffer size changes. HOWEVER, neither this method, nor the macro, is applicable if s1 is NOT a character array. If s1 is declared by "char* s1", then the size of s1 is the number of bytes in a character pointer (usually 4), which is NOT what is normally intended. You have been WARNED!

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
