Re: [PATCH] git-compat-util: Avoid strcasecmp() being inlined

Just wondering if that is the root of the problem, or if maybe there is
something else subtle going on. Also, does __CRT_INLINE just turn into
"inline", or is there perhaps some other pre-processor magic going on?

This is the function definition from string.h after preprocessing:

extern __inline__ int __attribute__((__cdecl__)) __attribute__ ((__nothrow__))
strncasecmp (const char * __sz1, const char * __sz2, size_t __sizeMaxCompare)
  {return _strnicmp (__sz1, __sz2, __sizeMaxCompare);}

I wonder if GCC has changed it's behaviour to more closely match C99.
Clang as a compatibility article about this sort of issue:
