[PATCH 1/2] tools/nolibc/string: do not use __builtin_strlen() at -O0

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Wed Mar 23 2022 - 03:18:34 EST


clang wants to use strlen() for __builtin_strlen() at -O0. We don't
really care about -O0 but it at least ought to build, so let's make
sure we don't choke on this, by dropping the optimizationn for
constant strings in this case.
