str{n}casecmp(): unrecognized identifier

[Andrew Talbot]

Hi,

It seems that, on my [x86_64] system, at least, string.h is not being
included in the files where strcasecmp() or strncasecmp() is used (for
example, in crypt32/oid.c), despite HAVE_STRCASECMP and HAVE_STRNCASECMP
being defined as 1.

I presume, because of the above defines, that just adding

#include <string.h>

... in the affected files would not be a proper fix. I imagine it requires
expert tweaking of the automake setup (or whatever) to ensure that this is
done automatically (if it's not just a fault on my system), in which case I
ask for suitable help, please.

Thanks,

-- Andy.

Actually we have to use wine/port.h.

I sent in a patch (47545629d62da964293348a905f886162aae4f85).

str[n]casecmp should be used only to compare strings received from an
underlying system, in all other cases win32 API lstrcmp[i]A should be
used instead, otherwise bad side effects could arise due to using wrong
locale.

I see. I would mention that, currently, there are about forty-two places in
the dll files where one or other of these functions is used. (I don't know
about the programs, tools or dll/tests directories.)
