The definition of strcasestr is char *strcasestr(const char *text, const char *pattern); but drmemory uses const char *strcasestr(const char *text, const char *pattern); This causes build errors when both /usr/include/string.h and common/utils.h are included in linux. The definition for strcasestr for C has always not had the `const` in the result type (going back to its original addition to glibc in 1997). Thus we're pretty safe in not breaking anything on *nix. The other main use case of drmemory's strcasestr is on Windows, which does not have strcasestr. Tested: $ cmake && make Fixes #2522
