[alsa-devel] [PATCH 08/22] ALSA: hda - Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp

Tue Sep 16 22:51:22 CEST 2014


The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics
and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so
strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper
for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in
the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.
