Subject: weird strncmp usage?
Date: Thu, 02 Nov 2006 02:26:54 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <eibhga$tpg$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi,
the git source seems full of calls similar to
strncmp (x, "constant string", 15)
is there a reason not to use something like
int
strxmp (char const *x, char const *y)
{
return strncmp (x, y, strlen (y));
}
everywhere?
