The commit 72921427d46b
("string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function")
introduced str_has_prefix() to substitute error-prone
strncmp(str, const, len).
strncmp(str, const, len) is easy to have error in len
because of counting error or sizeof(const) without - 1.
These patches replace such pattern with str_has_prefix()
to avoid hard coded constant length and sizeof.
Besides, str_has_prefix() returns the length of prefix
when the comparison returns true.
We can use this return value to substitute some hard-coding.
Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- Revise the description.
- Use the return value of str_has_prefix() to eliminate
hard coding.
- Remove possible false positives and add newly detected
one in upstream.
