I'm fairly uncomfortable about the broad swath and low return of this
patch. Noah is assuming that none of these places are relying on
strncmp to stop short upon finding a null, and I don't believe that
that's a safe assumption in every single place. Nor do I believe that
it's worth the effort of trying to prove it safe in most of those
places.
I think this might be a good idea in the varchar.c and varlena.c calls,
but I'd be inclined to leave the rest of the calls alone.
regards, tom lane
