1 # Null-terminated vs size-prefixed ascii strings.
  2 #
  3 # By default we create strings with a 4-byte size prefix rather than a null suffix.
  4 # However we still need null-prefixed strings when interacting with the Linux
  5 # kernel in a few places. This layer implements a function for comparing
  6 # a null-terminated 'kernel string' with a size-prefixed 'SubX string'.
  7 #
  8 # To run:
  9 #   $ bootstrap/bootstrap translate ex11.subx -o ex11
 10 #   $ bootstrap/bootstrap run ex11  # runs a series of tests
 11 #   ......  # all tests pass
 12 #
 13 # (We can't yet run the tests when given a "test" commandline argument,
 14 # because checking for it would require the function being tested! Breakage
 15 # would cause tests to not run, rather than to fail as we'd like.)
