Not related to your patch but this context line looks suspicious as 
str_len is incremented without checking for overflow. I did wonder if it 
should be using a post increment instead and was using the st_add() to 
check if that overflowed but str_len is an int so we'd still have 
undefined behavior.

Best Wishes
