std::size_t strxfrm( char* dest, const char* src, std::size_t count ); |
Transforms the null-terminated byte string pointed to by src into the implementation-defined form such that comparing two transformed strings with std::strcmp gives the same result as comparing the original strings with std::strcoll, in the current C locale.
The first count characters of the transformed string are written to destination, including the terminating null character, and the length of the full transformed string is returned, excluding the terminating null character.
If count is 0, then dest is allowed to be a null pointer.
Notes
The correct length of the buffer that can receive the entire transformed string is 1+std::strxfrm(nullptr, src, 0).
Parameters
| dest | - | pointer to the first element of the array where the transformed string will be written |
| src | - | pointer to the first character of a null-terminated byte string to transform |
| count | - | maximum number of characters to be written |
Return value
The length of the transformed string, not including the terminating null-character.
Example
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::setlocale(LC_COLLATE, "cs_CZ.iso88592");
std::string in1 = "hrnec";
std::string out1(1+std::strxfrm(nullptr, in1.c_str(), 0), ' ');
std::string in2 = "chrt";
std::string out2(1+std::strxfrm(nullptr, in2.c_str(), 0), ' ');
std::strxfrm(&out1[0], in1.c_str(), out1.size());
std::strxfrm(&out2[0], in2.c_str(), out2.size());
std::cout << "In the Czech locale: ";
if(out1 < out2)
std::cout << in1 << " before " << in2 << '\n';
else
std::cout << in2 << " before " << in1 << '\n';
std::cout << "In lexicographical comparison: ";
if(in1 < in2)
std::cout << in1 << " before " << in2 << '\n';
else
std::cout << in2 << " before " << in1 << '\n';
}Output:
In the Czech locale: hrnec before chrt In lexicographical comparison: chrt before hrnec
