How is this useful for the general audience?

Do you have a good reason for not calling C functions?

How would using a function compared to adding it to the brl mod be any different in the compiled app?

Brucey (Posted 2008) [#6]

It wouldn't... apart from convenience, I suppose. But I certainly wouldn't do it the way Leadwerks suggests.

I did not know memcmp( src,with,size ) existed, but that is the same thing I am suggesting, and would probably be better method of acheiving it. It just seemed like a common function that would be a useful addition.
