How much faster is DCMD than STRCMP? - Remi-X - 30.07.2009

Hi, I have a little question about DCMD. I want to know how much faster DCMD is(Milliseconds)? Only for such a command:

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/jetmax",       true) ==0)  {SpawnVehicle(playerid, 493, "Jetmax");         return 1;}

pawn Код:

dcmd_helloworld(playerid, params[])
{
  #pragma unused params
  SpawnVehicle(playerid, 493, "Jetmax");
  return 1;
}

(SpawnVehicle is a function i made. It just creates a vehicle, and destroyes the other.)

And

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/kick", true) == 0)
{
    new tmp[128];
    tmp = strtok(cmdtext, idx);

    if(strlen(tmp) == 0) return SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFFFFFFFF, "USAGE: /kick [playerid]");

    Kick(strval(tmp));
    return 1;
}

pawn Код:

dcmd_kick(playerid, params[])
{
  if(!strlen(params))
  {
    SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xFF0000FF, "Use: /kick [playerid]");
    return 1;
  }
  strval(params);
  Kick(strval(params));
  return 1;
}

So i don't want to know that DCMD is faster, but i want to see how much faster in milliseconds

The speed difference shows up once you start having a lot of commands. Otherwise its not much faster. Thats what I heard...I started using dcmd in 01b so I've never used strcmp longer than a few days before that. Just repeating what I heard.

It's all in the topic

. Btw. 1 second is 1000 miliseconds, just for the record.

The(other) distadvantage of putting all command logic into _one_ big function (the OnPlayerCommandText-callback) is the (always!) limited size of heap (used when you define new variables). If you don't put the command logic right into that function, but create a function for each command, it is just an extra function call, and you can put as many commands into OnPlayerCommandText without having this problem. The reason why dcmd works that way.
