[PATCH 06/15] strbuf: accept a comment string for strbuf_stripspace()

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date

Message-ID
<20240307092126.GF2080210@coredump.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20240307091407.GA2072522@coredump.intra.peff.net>

As part of our transition to multi-byte comment characters, let's take a NUL-terminated string pointer for strbuf_stripspace(), rather than a single character. We can continue to support its feature of ignoring comments by accepting a NULL pointer (as opposed to the current behavior of a NUL byte).

All of the callers have to be adjusted, but they can all just pass comment_line_str (or NULL).

Inside the function we detect comments by comparing the first byte of a line to the comment character. We'll adjust that to use starts_with(), which will match multiple bytes (though for now, of course, we still only allow a single byte, so it's academic).
