This seems like an independently useful change, and one worth
documenting in docs/hacking.html.in next to the existing documentation
on STREQ. It also has a bug - it is under-parenthesized. And you can
use ^ for compactness:
# define STREQ_NULLABLE(a, b) \
((!(a) && !(b)) || ((a) && (b) && STREQ(a, b)))
# define STRNEQ_NULLABLE(a, b) \
((!(a) ^ !(b)) || ((a) && (b) && STRNEQ(a, b)))
Hmmm. The existing STREQ and STRNEQ only evaluate arguments once, but
this evaluates arguments multiple times. Then again, so does the
existing STRPREFIX. Are any of these three worth making static inline
functions, rather than macros, to avoid side-effects of multiple evaluation?
I did not closely review the rest of the patch.
