Subject: [PATCH v4 11/18] rtla: Use str_has_prefix() for prefix checks
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2026 16:46:24 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309195040.1019085-12-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309195040.1019085-1-wander@redhat.com>
The code currently uses strncmp() combined with strlen() to check if a
string starts with a specific prefix. This pattern is verbose and prone
to errors if the length does not match the prefix string.
Replace this pattern with the str_has_prefix() helper function in both
trace.c and utils.c. This improves code readability and safety by
handling the prefix length calculation automatically.
In addition, remove the unused retval variable from
trace_event_save_hist() in trace.c to clean up the function and
silence potential compiler warnings.
