cmd: bcb: Use strcmp() instead of strncmp() for string literals
Quote from https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1104244/#2210814: ----------8<----------- strncmp() is chosen for the sake of paranoid/defensive programming. Indeed, strncmp() is not really needed when comparing a variable with a string literal. We expect strcmp() to behave safely even if the string variable is not NUL-terminated. In the same scenario, Linux v5.2-rc7 uses both strcmp() and strncmp(), but the frequency of strcmp() is higher: $ git --version git version 2.22.0 $ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strncmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l 1066 $ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strcmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l 1968 A quick "strcmp vs strncmp" object size test shows that strcmp() generates smaller memory footprint (gcc-8, x86_64): $ (U-Boot) size cmd/bcb-strncmp.o cmd/bcb-strcmp.o text data bss dec hex filename 3373 400 2048 5821 16bd cmd/bcb-strncmp.o 3314 400 2048 5762 1682 cmd/bcb-strcmp.o So, overall, I agree to use strcmp() whenever variables are compared with string literals. ----------8<----------- Fixes: db7b7a05b267 ("cmd: Add 'bcb' command to read/modify/write BCB fields") Reported-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Eugeniu Rosca <erosca@de.adit-jv.com> Reviewed-by: Sam Protsenko <semen.protsenko@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Igor Opaniuk <igor.opaniuk@gmail.com>
