Strings don't work that way. It's not crashing anymore, but it's not actually doing what you wanted either. It's just comparing the pointer, not the contents. Try this:
It won't print the first one because str1 and str2 aren't equal. They point to different areas of memory. It will print the second one because str1 and str3 do point to the same area of memory.
As is often the case it's not something wrong with your function as much as something wrong with the data you fed into it. Something's wrong with the variables you passed into the function. Since you, as usual, didn't post the complete code, I'd need psychic powers to help you.
Please post your complete code!
