Subject: [PATCH v2 06/18] rtla: Use strncmp_static() in more places
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 08:49:42 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260106133655.249887-7-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260106133655.249887-1-wander@redhat.com>
The recently introduced strncmp_static() helper provides a safer way
to compare strings with static strings by determining the length at
compile time.
Replace several open-coded strncmp() calls with strncmp_static() to
improve code readability and robustness. This change affects the
parsing of command-line arguments and environment variables.
