How about a function body of
do {
if (!*prefix)
return str;
} while (*str++ == *prefix++);
return NULL;
I'm not too fond of while (1) and tend to use for (;;) instead, but that
may again partly be due to some incredibly non-optimizing compiler back
in the days of my youth. At any rate, the do-while loop seems a bit
brisker.
