Which is faster?

["Thiago Bastos" <hellraider@...>]

Hi,

When getting null-terminated strings from Lua, does lua_strlen() offer any speed advantage over regular strlen() calls?

I imagine Lua stores string lengths in its objects, but am not sure if going through Lua's internal structures will really eat less cpu cycles than doing a strlen().

Does anyone here know that for sure?

Thanks!
