Shouldn't that be

  char *strcpy(char * const p, size_t __size_of_p, const char * const
q, size_t __size_of_q)

? i.e. the docs point at this but say:

  "...and implicitly pass the result of this call in as an invisible
argument of type `size_t` directly after the parameter annotated with
`pass_object_size`."

Cheers,
