#include <stdio.h>
#define STR_BUF    10000
#define STR_MATCH  7

void mystrncpy(char* s, char* t, int n) {
    while(*s++ = *t++ && n-- > 0);
}

int main() {
    int result;
    char str_s[STR_BUF] =  "not so long test string";
    char buf_1[STR_BUF];
    mystrncpy(buf_1, str_s, STR_MATCH);
    printf ("buf_1 (mystrncpy, 7 chars): %s\n", buf_1);
    return 0;
}

When I run it, nothing happened
