Hello everyone,

In terms of speed what the fastest way of doing a strings comparison
on fixed strings? Using one of those strcmp() functions or doing the
following:

(Pseudo code)
"if (s[0] == 0xa && s[1] == 0xb && s[2] == 0xc)" (etc)
or
"if (s[0] == 'A' && s[1] == 'B' && s[2[ == 'C')" (etc)

Thanks for your help.
