strcmp() function implementation

[Sc0rp]

Alright, that's my final version.
The HEAVY HEAVY commenting is required by the testers.

// -----------------------------------------------------
// Function Name:   strcmp()
//
// Input:           Two strings to compare.
//
// Output:          (-1) the second string is bigger.
//                  ( 1) the first string is bigger.
//                  ( 0) the strings are identical.
//
// Operation:       The function receives two strings to
//                  compare in dictionary-comparison, and
//                  returns a flag according to which
//                  string is bigger.
// -----------------------------------------------------
int strcmp(const char* p1, const char* p2)
{
    // A variable to hold the distance in ASCII charcters
    // between the current two characters we're comparing.
    int dist = 0;

    // Keep checking while the distance is 0, and we're
    // not hitting NULL on one of the strings.
    while (!dist && *p1 && *p2)
        // Get the distance while incrementing the
        // pointers to the next character.
        dist = (*p2++) - (*p1++);

    // Check the last distance and according to this
    // return (1) if the first string is bigger, (-1)
    // if the second string is bigger, or (0) if the
    // strings are identical.
    if (dist > 0)
        return (-1);
    else if (dist < 0)
        return (1);

    return (0);
} 

I didn't find any bugs, but if anyone does...
