Sorry, I mixed up "strcasecmp" and "strncasecmp". > Does it "effectively" provide a non-inline definition of strcasecmp? Yes, if __NO_INLINE__ is defined string.h provides non-inline definition of both "strcasecmp" and "strncasecmp" by defining them to "_stricmp" and "_strnicmp" respectively. > Perhaps the real issue is that the header file does not give an > equivalent "those who want to take the address of strcasecmp will > get the address of _stricmp instead" macro, e.g. > > #define strcasecmp _stricmp > > or something? Now it's you who puzzles me, because the header file *does* have exactly the macro that you suggest. Anyway, I think Peff's reply to my other mail summed it up nicely.
