It is indeed only used in setup.c and only by the prefix_path_gently function so static inline then? Hmm, for single-parameter it should suffice to simply move the parameter down into the function, like so?: const char* src; src = dst; and carry on as before (obviously also renaming the variables sensibly), or did you have something else in mind? (I added two parameters since I was glancing at 'normalize_path_copy_len' for inspiration, and was thinking about (purely theoretical) re-use in other cases rather than minimizing it for the time being.)
