And why should anybody care? 99% of people using PHP never used a libc
function and can hardly tell libc from gcc. If we can extend this
function with useful functionality, nobody cares about what libc does.
For example, I could imagine people writing code along these lines:
$len = strlen($user_data) - strlen($suffix);
if(!strncmp($user_data, $string, $len)) {
// do something
}
Warning doesn't fix the bug - and unless you're in 0.0001% of the
population that actually reads the logs daily and checks every message
there it would be little to help you. We should have more useful
functions, not more warnings. Warning won't make this code to work.
