New submission from STINNER Victor:
Oh oh, it looks like the implementation of tailmatch() was not finished:
/* If both are of the same kind, memcmp is sufficient */
if (kind_self == kind_sub) {
return ...;
}
/* otherwise we have to compare each character by first accesing it */
else {
/* We do not need to compare 0 and len(substring)-1 because
the if statement above ensured already that they are equal
when we end up here. */
/* TODO: honor direction and do a forward or backwards search */
for (i = 1; i < end_sub; ++i) {
if (PyUnicode_READ(kind_self, data_self, offset + i) !=
PyUnicode_READ(kind_sub, data_sub, i))
return 0;
}
return 1;
}
