There is, however, more potential for improvements. First of all: the "int i" from above. Further down, we read for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(keywords); i++) { However, a size of an array can never be negative, so that an unsigned data type is a better choice than a signed. And, arrays can have more elements than an int can address, at least in theory. For a reader it makes more sense, to replace int i; with size_t i; And further down, there is another place for improvments: int len = strlen(p->keyword); if (n < len) continue; Even here, a strlen is never negative. And a size_t is the choice for len, since all "modern" implementations declare strlen() to return size_t Do you think that you can have a look at these changes ? I will be happy to do a review, and possibly other people as well.
