## Checking null-terminated ascii strings.
#
# By default we create strings with a 4-byte length prefix rather than a null suffix.
# However we still need null-prefixed strings when interacting with the Linux
# kernel in a few places. This layer implements a function for comparing
# a null-terminated 'kernel string' with a length-prefixed 'SubX string'.
#
# To run (from the subx directory):
# $ subx translate 05[0-2]*.subx -o /tmp/tmp52
# $ subx 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.)
