Subject: [PATCH v2] lib: parser: Fix match_wildcard to correctly handle trailing stars
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 11:06:04 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326020630.4139520-1-inseob@google.com> (raw)
This fixes a bug of match_wildcard that incorrectly handles trailing
asterisks. For example, `match_wildcard("abc**", "abc")` must return
true, but it returns false.
