bool isempty = string.empty();

or

if (string.empty()) {
...
}

You can also do

if (string.size()) {
...
}

std::string has an empty member function to check for empti-ness.
if (s.empty())
{
//...
}

I was thinking, the name is a bit unfortunate. It's a verb, so indicates
that it will empty out 's'. I think s.isempty() would have been nicer :).
