I'm confused. What's the difference between strncmp() and

And why would I use one in one place and the other elsewhere?
Shouldn't
they be used consistently?
Not necessarily -- see texteq. I think the point is that varstr_cmp()
is a lot slower.
Then why shouldn't I use strncmp() for all comparisons?
No, I was wondering before what locale was used for initdb on the
build
farm. I mean, how are locale-aware things really tested?
They aren't AFAIK.
Ow. Pity.
Best,
