[cc65] strcmp to empty string

Hi,

 

It never occurred to me to not use strcmp(str, "") == 0 to check for an
empty string!  I just converted all these to checks of the first character
of the ( string str[0] == '\0' and str[0] != '\0' ) and saved 341 bytes in
my program, plus probably made it a bit faster to execute as well.  There
shouldn't be any issue doing it this way?  I don't think there is.

 

Just a tip for anyone using cc65 that is used to doing things this way.

 

Using this optimization and creating some static zeropage variables instead
of register variables, I dropped about 785 bytes in total from the program.
