It's probably Ken or Dennis's fault; the original name for The Routine Currently Known As strchr() was index(), perhaps by (weak) analogy to PL/I's index() function (which was more like strstr(), as I remember). V7 had index() and reindex(), as did the V7-based UNIX/32V and the UNIX/32V-derived 4.x BSD. The folks in the group that gave us System III and System V renamed them to strchr() and strrchr(), perhaps to avoid collisions; a number of UN*Xes offered them under both names, so that code written using either set of names would compile. OS X may do so out of its BSD heritage, although I think for most if not all purposes it would suffice to declare them in <strings.h> but not in <string.h> (and not have <string.h> include <strings.h>). ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
