Hi Tobias,
Somehow the commas and parentheses look odd. Shouldn't that be, e.g., "or (for kind=4 strings) the ..."?
I committed as rev 197261 and 197262, with a slightly better worded ChangeLog entry :-) The wording is now If the strings compared have constant and equal lengths and the strings are kind=1, or, for kind=4 strings, the test is for (in)equality, use memcmp(). Thomas
