What is the reason for that? :(

  Not specified in any standard, not much of an improvement according to the glibc maintainers, and already provided in libbsd.

    Speaking of libbsd it should be updated to use ChaCha20 too: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85827 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85827

  Drepper's caustic style aside, his point ultimately was that truncation is still a problem. Whether or not you think glibc should include strlcat, this is an important point to understand. More discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/2114896/67591 http://stackoverflow.com/q/2114896/67591

    Note that you can mechanically translate strcat(dst, src) to strlcat(dst, src, SIZE_MAX) with no loss of functionality or change in behavior. No worries about truncation, either. Exactly the same thing. Now, if reading a piece of code that does strlcat(dst, src, SIZE_MAX) would make you feel uncomfortable, the question is how should you feel reading code that uses strcat?
