// Optimized for instruction cache locality
//
// Template class fastcmp used to create more time-efficient str*cmp
// functions by pre-checking the first character before resorting
// to calling the underlying string function.  Profiled with a
// measurable speedup when used in hot code.  Usage is of the form:
//
//  fastcmp<strncmp>(str1, str2, len)
//
// NB: Does not work for the case insensitive str*cmp functions.
// NB: Returns boolean, do not use if expecting to check negative value.
//     Thus not semantically identical to the expected function behavior.

template <int (*cmp)(const char *l, const char *r, const size_t s)>
static inline int fastcmp(const char *l, const char *r, const size_t s) {
    return (*l != *r) || cmp(l + 1, r + 1, s - 1);
}

    const char *l = static_cast<const char *>(lv);
    const char *r = static_cast<const char *>(rv);
