> strcpy in C is Turing complete

I was curious too, but my google-fu did not succeed. The closest I found is about printf being Turing-complete [1], which is also new to me.

It’s not the strcpy that’s Turing complete, it’s the return afterwards… this is not true about PASCAL and many other programming languages.
