String Library Comparison
by bucy at 3:16 pm EST, Jan 29, 2005

The standard C string library is horribly inadequate for almost
all applications. They aren't 8-bit clean, they aren't counted (overflows), in general, you have to do a lot of needless work yourself.

A better one goes a long way towards civilizing
C. I wish ANSI/ISO would recognize this and standardize something.

glib doesn't have equivalents of index(), strstr(), etc ...
WTF not?!
