Hi
For now, gcc can not fold code like:
const char a[5] = "123"
__builtin_memchr (a, '7', sizeof a)
It tries to avoid folding out of string length although length of a is 5.
This is a bit conservative, it's safe to folding memchr/bcmp/memcmp
builtins when constant string stores in array with some trailing nuls.
This patch folds these cases by exposing additional length of
trailing nuls in c_getstr().
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?
