It only wouldn't work if the array based string contained \0 in a nonterminal position.

Just write your own string comparison routine. Like AD says, it's not hard. If that's too much trouble take the length of the null terminated string and stop whining. You probably don't need the extra speed anyway.

Maybe strings aren't the best data structure. Look at ropes maybe?

Is there an easier way to write this?

if (times_i_went_to_the_store == 3 ||
times_i_went_to_the_store == 5)
{
do whatever;
}

code:

switch(times_i_went_to_the_store) {
  case 3:
  case 5:
    do whatever;
}

If you are forced to duplicate documentation stupidly you could always write a script to extract the doxygen comments from the pair of files and run them through diff to at least let you know when they've gone out of sync.
