strcmp: fix overflow and possibly signedness error
Doing the strcmp return value as
signed char __res = *cs - *ct;
is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res
doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be
interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX.
The same problem is fixed in strncmp.
