/* AILang Str runtime primitives.
*
* Provides ABI-stable string operations against the existing
* constant-Str layout (NUL-terminated byte buffer, passed as
* `ptr` in LLVM IR). Lives separately from runtime/rc.c so that
* a future heap-Str ABI milestone can swap the implementations
* without touching the RC runtime.
*
* Linked unconditionally by `ail build` (Gc, Bump, Rc) so that
* any program that monomorphises `eq__Str` (auto-loaded from
* the prelude) finds the symbol. Programs that never call
* `eq` on Str leave @ail_str_eq as a dead-stripped no-op at
* link time under clang -O2.
