I understand why you are returning the length of the suffix, as it matches
str_has_prefix(). But as the user of this will likely need the length of
the "str" too, we should either return the length of the string, or the
index of where the suffix was found.

/**
[..]
@index: The index into @str of where @suffix is if found (NULL to ignore)
[..]
*/
static __always_inline size_t str_has_suffix(const char *str, const char *suffix, size_t *index)
{
size_t len = strlen(suffix);
size_t str_len = strlen(str);

if (len > str_len)
return 0;

if (index)
*index = str_len - len;

return strncmp(str + str_len - len, suffix, len) == 0 ? len : 0;
}

Thank you for your advice.
Return the index of where the suffix was found is useful. I'll modify it according to your suggestion.
