perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN
This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around, we can instead just do a pointer comparision. That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from some versions of clang and gcc: 41 68.95 fedora:rawhide : FAIL clang version 16.0.4 (Fedora 16.0.4-1.fc39) result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare] if (start_line != SRCLINE_UNKNOWN && ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 41 Ack comments: Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.
