It could be reduced a little with something like static int prefixcmp_len(const char *str, size_t str_len, const char *prefix, size_t prefix_len) { if (prefix_len > str_len) return 1; return memcmp(str, prefix, prefix_len); } but that's probably not worth the cognitive load.

How about early EOF or malformed input, when strlen(val) < len? Some tests would also be a comfort. I'm not so happy with the table of (at first glance) magic-seeming numbers and the error handling looks a little tricky but aside from those details this seems like a reasonable way to avoid some complication without sacrificing speed. Speaking of which, any hints for people who want to time this patch (and other patches in the series)? Thanks.
