strcmp or hash

I wrote this simple benchmark application to compare traditional glibc's strcmp function against some kind of string hash compare methods (we're using uthash here but it can be extended as well).

You can test with your custom, newline separated dictionary files too.

build

$ git clone https://github.com/demirten/strcmp-or-hash.git

$ cd strcmp-or-hash

$ git submodule update --init --recursive

$ make

run

You need a sample dictionary file. There are lots of good examples in https://github.com/berzerk0/Probable-Wordlists.

Here an example output of my machine: Debian-10, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz
