Except that PR109306 says the new version is non-compliant and
is certainly slower than what we used to have. The only problem I see
on the old version (sure, it is not very fast version) is that for
strstr ("abcd", "") it returned "abcd"+4 rather than "abcd" because
strchr in that case changed p to point to the last character and then
strncmp returned 0.
The question reported in PR109306 is whether memcmp is required not to
access characters beyond the first difference or not.
For all of memcmp/strcmp/strncmp, C17 says:
"The sign of a nonzero value returned by the comparison functions memcmp, strcmp, and strncmp
is determined by the sign of the difference between the values of the first pair of characters (both
interpreted as unsigned char) that differ in the objects being compared."
but then in memcmp description says:
"The memcmp function compares the first n characters of the object pointed to by s1 to the first n
characters of the object pointed to by s2."
rather than something similar to strncmp wording:
"The strncmp function compares not more than n characters (characters that follow a null character
are not compared) from the array pointed to by s1 to the array pointed to by
s2."
So, while for strncmp it seems clearly well defined when there is zero
terminator before reaching the n, for memcmp it is unclear if say
int
memcmp (const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n)
{
int ret = 0;
size_t i;
const unsigned char *p1 = (const unsigned char *) s1;
const unsigned char *p2 = (const unsigned char *) s2;
for (i = n; i; i--)
if (p1[i - 1] != p2[i - 1])
ret = p1[i - 1] < p2[i - 1] ? -1 : 1;
return ret;
}
wouldn't be valid implementation (one which always compares all characters
and just returns non-zero from the first one that differs).
So, shouldn't we just revert and handle the len == 0 case correctly?
I think almost nothing really uses it, but still, the old version
at least worked nicer with a fast strchr.
Could as well strncmp (p + 1, s2 + 1, len - 1) if that is preferred
because strchr already compared the first character.
