title STRECPY
COMMENT $
Author: Leslie Satenstein
A form of strcpy() where the result returned is the
nul terminating character of the first argument. In many cases
this function is move efficient than the equivalent
strcpy, followed by strcat.
The assembler code does a strlen followed by a memcpy,
and makes use of the special string move instructions
intrinsic to the intel 8088, 80186, 80286, '386 and '486s.
Use as: strecpy(strecpy(target,"first part"),"Second part");
in place of
strcat(strcpy(target,"first part"),"Second part");
One of the ways the C code appears is:
char *strecpy(char *target,const char *src)
{
return target+strlen(strcpy(target,src));
}
Another way is to do your own looping:
char *strecpy(char *target,const char *src)
{
char *cpt,*cps; /* many compilers optimise better
* when local pointers are declared
* (locals can be assigned registers)
*/
cpt=target-1;
cps=src-1;
do
{
*++cpt = *++src; /* copy first, ask questions later */
} while(*cpt!='\0');
return cpt;
}
