Changes between Initial Version and Version 1 of Ticket #69571, comment 3

initial	v1
3	3	The obvious thing to do is to copy Apple's implementation from the later OS versions where they provide them. It looks like this happened in `Libc-825.24`, and never changed since. It's a dumb two-pass implementation (as is the GCC version shown above) that fails to avoid the extra overhead that motivated `stpcpy()/stpncpy()` in the first place, but in keeping with the philosophy of never doing anything better than Apple in `legacy-support`, it makes sense. Thus, the only real benefit over `strcpy()/strncpy()` is in compatibility and convenience.
