extension.dll in c++ "if,else" doesn't work

[ramirezdu06 0]

i have created an extension.dll in c++ but when i add and "if,else" statement the code doesn't work but only for the extension in arma 3 because i have put the code in an other project and the code work prefecly so it's not my code but i don't know why arma 3 doesn't recognize the "if,else" statement nad i have nothing in .rpt with out extension loaded.

You crossposted this to Arma Discord too. And as every c++ programmer will know, comparing pointers to strings doesn't compare their contents.

But yeah, this is not how you compare strings

No I don't. You have compiler optimizations on and both strings refer to same pointer. That doesn't at all compare strings. Please don't teach people bullshit.

It was a joke if you didn't get it, but also a good example of how it may seem to someone unfamiliar with C++ that it might work. No need to rush with guns blazing.

I saw it being a joke. But I don't see the sense in confusing beginners with jokes that reinforce their wrong assumptions made in the beginning.
