Re: comparing two std::string variables

Show all headers | View raw

If you already have the code that reads the contents of a file into a string you could consider comparing hashes of strings instead of strings themselves.

But if I were to solve such problem I think I would try doing it "sequentially": 

1. read in a couple of bytes
2. compare to the corresponding part of the generated string
3. stop the whole process if the compared parts are not equal
4. back to 1

This could save you some time and resources needed for reading in the whole file if the difference is found before the EOF.
