Subject: [PATCH 2/2] lib: Fix sbi_strchr to correctly handle null terminator search
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 17:44:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260306094425.1918-3-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260306094425.1918-1-cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>

From: Chen Pei <cp0613@linux.alibaba.com>

The original sbi_strchr implementation did not conform to the C standard
behavior. According to the C standard and POSIX specification, strchr(s, 0)
should return a pointer to the null terminator at the end of string s.

The previous implementation used a while loop that would terminate when
either reaching the end of string or finding the character, but it would
return NULL when searching for the null terminator instead of returning
a pointer to the null terminator itself.

The fixed implementation uses a do-while loop that ensures even when
searching for the null terminator, the function correctly returns a
pointer to the null terminator position rather than NULL.

This fix ensures sbi_strchr behavior aligns with standard library
function semantics, making it more predictable and safe for users
expecting standard C library behavior.
