10.47.34 strstr ¶
POSIX specification:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/strstr.html
Gnulib module: strstr or strstr-simple
Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module strstr-simple
or strstr:
- This function can trigger memchr bugs on some platforms:
glibc 2.10.
- This function can trigger false positives for long periodic needles on
some platforms:
glibc 2.12, Cygwin 1.7.7.
- This function may fail to find matches on some platforms:
glibc 2.28.
Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module strstr:
- This function has quadratic instead of linear worst-case complexity on some
platforms:
glibc 2.8, macOS 14, FreeBSD 11.4, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 6.1, AIX 7.2, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 14.
Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
- This function cannot work correctly on character strings in most multibyte
locales.
Gnulib provides an alternative function
mbsstr that works
on character strings in all locales.
