1 # Checking null-terminated ascii strings.
  2 #
  3 # By default we create strings with a 4-byte length 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 length-prefixed 'SubX string'.
  7 #
  8 # To run (from the subx directory):
  9 #   $ ./subx translate 05[0-2]*.subx -o /tmp/tmp52
 10 #   $ ./subx run /tmp/tmp52  # 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.)
