hi matt,
we should really *not* use null terminated strings everywhere as it just wastes one precious byte for each string. please keep both functions.

i'm using null terminated strings in minix to parse commandline and implement a REPl. I declare a buffer (say 100 bytes) and dump chars from user. this means i don't necessarimy use all 100 bytes an thus needs a way to detect end of string.

cheers

It seems that we don't need both strcmp() and string_compare(). Both
should give back the same result. If we decide to use null terminated
strings, we should use your procedure only.

I don't think it will break anything. Please check.

Hi Matt,

Sorry I couldn't find time... Maybe this WE, I'm not sure. If not, I can put a "temporary" notice claiming this will change. Was it release in 0.6 ? If
no, we could remove it...

Cheers,
Seb

OK, I'll modify this.

Cheers,

I noticed that the procedure names have still not been changed. Can we either fix this or remove strings.jal from torelease? Maybe we should
review this library more before releasing.

The only library of mine that uses this is networking, and it is not
released.

Matt.
