Oh indeed, all the static functions should not have any prefix.
Maybe the README file is not perfectly clear about this, but it can be
understood implicitly.

  26 In a general manner, public library functions are named
"alpm_<type>_<action>"
  27 (examples: alpm_trans_commit(), alpm_release(), alpm_pkg_get_name(), ...).
  28 Internal (and thus private) functions should be named "_alpm_XXX"
for instance
  29 (examples: _alpm_needbackup(), _alpm_runscriplet(), ...).
Functions defined and
  30 used inside a single file should be defined as "static".
