I beg to heartily differ. *No* C compiler will evaluate a call to strlen
at compile time, even if the string is compiletime evaluatable.
The best you can hope to do with a compile-time constant is to use sizeof
-1 as in
#define MYSTR "MyString"
if ( (sizeof MYSTR) - 1 ) == strlen ( target ) ) ...
The strlen call is *definitely* a run-time call. The best you can hope to
get (e.g., gcc) is that is will be transformed into an inline call.
