[llvm-dev] StringSwitch class

[Robinson, Paul via llvm-dev]

I don't know about "more efficient" but a StringSwitch is certainly more concise and readable than a series of if statements with similar functionality (such as doing length checks before the string compare).
Hashes always run the risk of collisions (false matches).

Hi:

I have a question about the llvm StringSwitch class. Why is this more efficient than comparing the hashes of the strings or just using a bunch of if statements.
