Description

When testing for the identity of strings using the strcmp() function has worse performance than the === operator. (3-5x)

Replace all ~300 calls to strcmp() with the operator.

Attention: This is replacement only works when the return value of strcmp() is checked for being a boolean value, otherwise a string ordering is performed and the call MUST NOT be replaced!

The operator is also slower than the = operator, so use the latter one if possible.

Attention: This is replacement only works when the return value of strcmp() is checked for being zero, otherwise a string ordering is performed and the call MUST NOT be replaced!

Shouldn't it be: "is checked for being zero or not being zero"

Actually strcmp is meant to be used for sorting of strings, since it can return positive or negative values for cases when string A is "larger" or "smaller" than string B. It will return 0 when string "A" and string "B" are equal.

So any case that is just checking for the result of strcmp being TRUE or FALSE could IMHO be safely replaced.
In some cases we might have to add isset() before the === operator since NULL could be !== '' but still might have to be considered ''.

Anyway even

isset($foo) && $foo !== ''

will perform better, since it will just skip the operator in cases when $foo is NULL and it will no create any copies, so the memory footprint will be significantly smaller.

I updated the description to be more precise about the boolean usage.

And it would be great to see some memory footprint in the end. The question surely is not if we have a reduction, but rather how much it finally really is. ;-)
