Huh? This is a C++ group. So of course we talk about
C++. Often there are discussions about C++ issues where
actual code is not posted. BUT: you asked about specific
function's behavior under certain circumstances. So of
course we need to know *exactly* what you did.

This is essentially the same as we're telling you. "the error is
somewhere else." If we don't see what the "somewhere else" looks
like, we're only guessing, and wasting everyone's time.

Please note that he did NOT compile YOUR code. He simply wrote
(I assume correct) code, and compiled THAT. He cannot know what
the rest of your code really looks like.
the error must be somewhere else.
Of course it is. But if you refuse to show us "somewhere else",
we're only guessing. I won't do that.
You're coming awfully close to "biting a hand that feeds you."

The point is that strcmp works as advertised, so there is something else
going on corrupting things. Since you are messing with pointers, I would
look for boundary overwrites or writing to invalid pointers. A tool like
Purify can be valuable for finding these sorts of things.

What's wrong with that answer? It looks perfectly accurate to me.
Fixing your typing mistakes and putting a minimal complete program
around it makes it work as it should. Thus your lines don't show any
error and thus it's impossible to answer your question.

Why do newbies insist on being childish? Peoples up here are willing
to help. However, they can only help with the material they have.
But no, so often, newbies when they don't get it all cooked,
pre-chewed and spoonfed directly in their mouth, fell the need to
throw a tantrum.
Look, you came here and asked for help. However, you didn't ask a
clear question ("It doesn't work"). Why are _you_ unwilling to make an
effort yourself so that others can help _you_ solve _your_ problem?
Essentially, all that can be answered from your post:
1- strcmp works.
2- There must be an error somewhere in your code.
3- The sample you have posted is not complete and would not
compile if inserted in a real program.
The above is really not that useful to you: i.e. strcmp works. That
should be a given. But you've have made a mistake. If you post a
complete but minimal self contained example that actually compile,
then peoples can look and identify where you made the mistake. If you
don't do that, all that can be said is: "You made a mistake somewhere."

The following error appears: 'strcmp' : cannot convert parameter 1
from 'char' to 'const char *'. I've already tried using single
quotations. the header file
only contains the struct contents. The whole program is part of an
example found in my course work. Does strcmp only compare two sets of
strings or can it be used to determine the end of the string as well?

Hi,
I recently wrote two benchmark programs that compared if two strings
were equal: one was a C program that used C char arrays with strcmp(),
and the other was a C++ program that used std::strings with
operator==().
In both programs, the first string consisted of one million
characters (all the letter 'a'). The second string was always one
character longer than the first string (with the letter 'a' for all the

Hello,
I have a question about strcmp(). I have four words, who need to be

like '(strcmp(w1, w2) + strcmp(w3, w4))', where w1 and w2 make up the
first string and, w3 and w4 make up the second string. I do not want
to allocate memory, then put the words together to create a string
only to facilitate strcmp() comparison.

Hi,
For two stl strings s1 and s2, I got different results from
strcmp(s1.c_str(), s2.c_str())
and
s1.compare(s2)
can someone explain what these functions do? It seems that strcmp
gives the "right" (i.e.wysiwyg) answer while compare() does not.

One way I've seen strcmp(char *s1, char *s2) implemented is: return
immediately if s1==s2 (equality of pointers); otherwise do the usual
thing of searching through the memory at s1 and s2.
Of course the reason for doing this is to save time in case equal
pointers are passed to strcmp. But it seems to me that this could create
an inconsistency in the degenerate case when s1 points to memory that is
not null-terminated, i.e. by some freak...

No, the code you posted does not compile. If you
really want help, please listen to what Alf (and I)
are telling you. Post a *complete*, *compilable*
