Subject: [PATCH 16/18] ip: Define a bound for the string returned by ipproto_name()
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:34:28 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260327043430.1785787-17-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260327043430.1785787-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>

ipproto_name() returns a static string of theoretically unbounded length.
That's going to be inconvenient in future, so introduce IPPROTO_STRLEN
giving an explicit bound on the length.  Use static_assert() and some
macros to ensure nothing we return can exceed this.
