# Checking null-terminated strings.
#
# By default we create strings as arrays of bytes, and all arrays have a 4-byte
# size prefix.
#
# However, we sometimes need to deal with null-terminated strings when
# interacting with the Linux kernel. This layer implements a function for
# comparing a null-terminated 'kernel string' with a size-prefixed 'SubX
# string'.
#
# To run (from the subx directory):
# $ ./bootstrap translate 05[0-2]*.subx -o /tmp/tmp52
# $ ./bootstrap run /tmp/tmp52 # runs a series of tests
# ...... # all tests pass
#
# (We can't yet run the tests when given a "test" commandline argument,
# because checking for it would require the function being tested! Breakage
# would cause tests to not run, rather than to fail as we'd like.)
