- allow count out-parameter of String_split() to be NULL
- introduce xStrndup()
- do not allow NULL pointers passed to String_eq()
it is not used in any code
- implement String_startsWith(), String_contains_i() and String_eq()
as inline header functions
- adjust several conversion issues
Generic data, as CPU and memory usage, are used by Meters.
In paused mode they would stop receiving updates and especially Graph
Meters would stop showing continuous data.

man:sysconf(3) states:
The values obtained from these functions are system configuration constants.
They do not change during the lifetime of a process.
Reported by UB sanitizer (alongside several other messages):
linux/LinuxProcessList.c:782:25: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x614000000264 for type 'struct taskstats', which requires 8 byte alignment

The issue doesn't cause trouble on x86, but any architecture with stricter memory alignment requirements may inadvertedly break.
Use NDEBUG conditional instead of DEBUG.
Do not call static functions in extern inline ones.
Vector.c:67:11: error: static function 'Vector_isConsistent' is used in an inline function with external linkage [-Werror,-Wstatic-in-inline]
Use the more portable sysfs node /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
to get the CPU frequency.
In case of an error fall back to /proc/cpuinfo .
Also use a fixed width of 4 for the frequency to avoid position jumps
in case the frequency moves in the range 900-1100 MHz.
unsigned overflow is well defined, but creates noise when using
sanitizers. unsigned overflow can be a symptom of logic issues of
counter, so its reasonable to use.

SUMMARY: UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer: undefined-behavior linux/LinuxProcessList.c:64:78 in
The MIN, MAX, CLAMP, MINIMUM, and MAXIMUM macros appear
throughout the codebase with many re-definitions. Make
a single copy of each in a common header file, and use
the BSD variants of MINIMUM/MAXIMUM due to conflicts in
the system <sys/param.h> headers.
Reasoning:
- implementation was unsound -- broke down when I added a fairly
basic macro definition expanding to a struct initializer in a *.c
file.
- made it way too easy (e.g. via otherwise totally innocuous git
commands) to end up with timestamps such that it always ran
MakeHeader.py but never used its output, leading to overbuild noise
when running what should be a null 'make'.
- but mostly: it's just an awkward way of dealing with C code.
