It would be better to NULL check string1 and string2 at the head of the function, and return early if NULL, rather than NULL checking more than once in the body of the function, and indenting so much of the code. I think this would work:

if (!string1)
    return -1;
if (!string2)
    return string1->length();
....

Oops!

if (!string2)
    return string1->length() ? 1 : -1;

Good point! I'll update that

Thanks for the review.
