From: shejialuo Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2025 16:42:20 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/4] string-list: allow passing NULL for `get_entry_index` Message-ID: In-Reply-To: Callers of `get_entry_index()` are required to pass a non-NULL `exact_match` parameter to receive information about whether an exact match is found. However, in some cases, callers only need the index position. Let's allow callers to pass NULL for the `exact_match` parameter when they don't need this information, reducing unnecessary variable declarations in calling code.
