Since you’re programming C++, the correct solution is to ban C-style char* strings from your code where possible, and replace them by std::string (or another appropriate string type).

Do not use functions such as strcpy or strcpy_s or strncpy. Use the copy constructor or assignment operator of the string class. Or if you really need to copy buffers, use std::copy.
