Oh wow, get a load of Google using strcpy() all wrong – strcpy! Haha, you'll never ever catch us doing that.

We never use strcpy(). This is C++, not some class-less hack like C!

There was a reason why MS created a strcpy_s version before the C ISO committee did in C11.

Something the C++ ISO committee hasn't done yet.

or just use snprintf()... Won't buffer overflow (if correct size given) and result will always be properly null-terminated.
