在c++中进行不区分大小写字符串比较而不将字符串转换为全大写或全小写的最佳方法是什么?

请指出这些方法是否对unicode友好,以及它们的可移植性如何。


当前回答

我写了一个不区分大小写的char_traits版本,用于std::basic_string,以便在使用内置的std::basic_string成员函数进行比较、搜索等时生成一个不区分大小写的std::string。

换句话说,我想这样做。

std::string a = "Hello, World!";
std::string b = "hello, world!";

assert( a == b );

...这是std::string不能处理的。下面是我的新char_traits的用法:

std::istring a = "Hello, World!";
std::istring b = "hello, world!";

assert( a == b );

...这是它的实现:

/*  ---

        Case-Insensitive char_traits for std::string's

        Use:

            To declare a std::string which preserves case but ignores case in comparisons & search,
            use the following syntax:

                std::basic_string<char, char_traits_nocase<char> > noCaseString;

            A typedef is declared below which simplifies this use for chars:

                typedef std::basic_string<char, char_traits_nocase<char> > istring;

    template<class C>
    struct char_traits_nocase : public std::char_traits<C>

        static bool eq( const C& c1, const C& c2 )
        { 
            return ::toupper(c1) == ::toupper(c2); 
        }

        static bool lt( const C& c1, const C& c2 )
        { 
            return ::toupper(c1) < ::toupper(c2);
        }

其他回答

的提振。String库有很多算法来做不区分大小写的比较等等。

您可以实现自己的,但如果已经完成了,为什么还要麻烦呢?

Boost包含一个方便的算法:

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>
// Or, for fewer header dependencies:
//#include <boost/algorithm/string/predicate.hpp>

std::string str1 = "hello, world!";
std::string str2 = "HELLO, WORLD!";

if (boost::iequals(str1, str2))
{
    // Strings are identical
}

如果你不想使用Boost库,那么这里有一个解决方案,它只使用c++标准io头。

#include <iostream>

struct iequal
{
    bool operator()(int c1, int c2) const
    {
        // case insensitive comparison of two characters.
        return std::toupper(c1) == std::toupper(c2);
    }
};

bool iequals(const std::string& str1, const std::string& str2)
{
    // use std::equal() to compare range of characters using the functor above.
    return std::equal(str1.begin(), str1.end(), str2.begin(), iequal());
}

int main(void)
{
    std::string str_1 = "HELLO";
    std::string str_2 = "hello";

    if(iequals(str_1,str_2))
    {
        std::cout<<"String are equal"<<std::endl;   
    }

    else
    {
        std::cout<<"String are not equal"<<std::endl;
    }


    return 0;
}

看到std:: lexicographical_compare:

// lexicographical_compare example
#include <iostream>  // std::cout, std::boolalpha
#include <algorithm>  // std::lexicographical_compare
#include <cctype>  // std::tolower

// a case-insensitive comparison function:
bool mycomp (char c1, char c2) {
    return std::tolower(c1) < std::tolower(c2);
}

int main () {
    char foo[] = "Apple";
    char bar[] = "apartment";

    std::cout << std::boolalpha;

    std::cout << "Comparing foo and bar lexicographically (foo < bar):\n";

    std::cout << "Using default comparison (operator<): ";
    std::cout << std::lexicographical_compare(foo, foo + 5, bar, bar + 9);
    std::cout << '\n';

    std::cout << "Using mycomp as comparison object: ";
    std::cout << std::lexicographical_compare(foo, foo + 5, bar, bar + 9, mycomp);
    std::cout << '\n';

    return 0;
}

我正试图从所有的帖子中拼凑出一个好的答案,所以帮我编辑一下:

这里有一个这样做的方法,虽然它转换字符串,并不是Unicode友好的,它应该是可移植的,这是一个加:

bool caseInsensitiveStringCompare( const std::string& str1, const std::string& str2 ) {
    std::string str1Cpy( str1 );
    std::string str2Cpy( str2 );
    std::transform( str1Cpy.begin(), str1Cpy.end(), str1Cpy.begin(), ::tolower );
    std::transform( str2Cpy.begin(), str2Cpy.end(), str2Cpy.begin(), ::tolower );
    return ( str1Cpy == str2Cpy );
}

从我所读到的,这比stricmp()更可移植,因为stricmp()实际上不是std库的一部分,而只是由大多数编译器供应商实现。

要获得真正的Unicode友好实现,似乎必须跳出std库。一个很好的第三方库是IBM ICU (Unicode国际组件)

此外,boost::iequals为进行这种比较提供了一个相当好的实用程序。
