I don't think so.
BTW if you want to try make the code more readable (i.e. like the
shell case statement you were initially trying), maybe a macro:
#define EQ(a) (strcmp(str, (a)))
str = set_it_somehow();
if ( EQ("frog") ) {
...
} else if ( EQ("lizard") ) {
...
} else if ( EQ("earwig") ) {
...
}
I don't claim that this is much more readable (or is even working code!),
but an inspired macro or two might help...
