2023-08-14src/libexpr/search-path.cc: avoid out-of-bounds read on string_viewSergei Trofimovich
Without the change build with `-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS` exposes testsuite assertion: $ gdb src/libexpr/tests/libnixexpr-tests Reading symbols from src/libexpr/tests/libnixexpr-tests... (gdb) break __glibcxx_assert_fail (gdb) run (gdb) bt in std::__glibcxx_assert_fail(char const*, int, char const*, char const*)@plt () from /mnt/archive/big/git/nix/src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so in std::basic_string_view<char, std::char_traits<char> >::operator[] (this=0x7fffffff56c0, __pos=4) at /nix/store/r74fw2j8rx5idb0w8s1s6ynwwgs0qmh9-gcc-14.0.0/include/c++/14.0.0/string_view:258 in nix::SearchPath::Prefix::suffixIfPotentialMatch (this=0x7fffffff5780, path=...) at src/libexpr/search-path.cc:15 in nix::SearchPathElem_suffixIfPotentialMatch_partialPrefix_Test::TestBody (this=0x555555a17540) at src/libexpr/tests/search-path.cc:62 As string sizes are usigned types `(a - b) > 0` effectively means `a != b`. While the intention should be `a > b`. The change fixes test suite pass.

- Better types - Own header / C++ file pair - Test factored out methods - Pass parsed thing around more than strings Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
